PREFACE 



For many years prior to 1915 it was the custom of this society 
to issue a Year-Book for the information and convenience of the 
members. This practice was interrupted in that year for reasons 
appertaining to the war which it is necessary merely to mention. 

In resuming the custom this book must cover the changes and 
events of the seven memorable years that have intervened. These 
changes and events have been so many and so extraordinary, and 
have affected the members so deeply that it is the wish of the so- 
ciety to have a record of them and to make the book besides, so 
far as it may be made, a memorial to those who lost their lives in 
the Great War. It is not intended that it should magnify nor glorify 
the part played by Bellevue men, nor Bellevue women neither, but 
to set down the record, mindful at the same time of the achieve- 
ments and superb heroism of others in this war. 

It is due to those who have communicated some of the facts, 
to say that they are in no way responsible for the way in which 
these facts are presented; they have not been consulted in this 
regard; and it is deeply appreciated how far short of the adequate 
the presentation is. But the facts themselves are eloquent and so 
the attempt has been made to place them, as far as possible, in 
relation to concurrent events. In doing this the following books 
have been used: "A History of the Great War," by Sir Arthur 
Conan Doyle, vols. V and VI, and "The History of the A. E. F.", by 
Captain Shipley Thomas, both published in 1920 by The George H. 
Doran Company who kindly gave permission to quote therefrom; 
"Canada at War,"' by J. Castell Hopkins, and published by the same 
house, has been read, and also "The Panama Canal," by Frederic 
J. Haskin, Doubleday, Page & Co. We are specially indebted to 
Professor Howard A. Kelly for his notable book, "Walter Reed 
and Yellow Fever" and for his cordial consent to make free use 
of the book and to reproduce the portrait of Doctor Lazear, as well. 
Major Harold M. Hays's "Cheerio" has been a great help; it is 
the story of an American medical officer on the British front; "The 
American Red Cross in the Great War," by the late Henry P. 
Davison is a fine account of the American Red Cross work. Our 
acknowledgments are made to these and our thanks for the courtesy 
extended to quote from them. Numerous newspaper obituary sketches 
have given valuable clues and have suggested lines of inquiry of 
relatives and intimate friends to whom we gratefully acknowledge 
our indebtedness. Among these are ex-Lieut.-Col. Newell, ex-Lieut.- 
Col. Sanger Brown, II. Lieut.-Col. Austin of the 104th F. A. and 



preface 

Miss Clara D. Noyes, Director General of the Nursing Service, 
American Red Cross, whose names appear in the text, and Miss 
Lucy Minnigerode, Bellevue "98, who is Superintendent of Nurses 
of the U. S. Public Health Service. Doctor Robert P. Wadhams, 
ex-Lieut.-Col., M. C, 27th Division, A.E.F., Miss Mary L. Slayton, 
of Bellevue T 82 and Mrs. Freda K. Archer of Watkins, N. Y., an 
intimate friend of Miss Delano. Besides these, the officials of the 
Training School, Miss De Long and Miss Allen, have helped in 
innumerable ways. Doctor Menas S. Gregory and Doctor M. L. 
Thornton and the staff of Doctor O'Hanlon's office have assisted 
materially. 

We cannot adequately express our appreciation of the courtesy 
and good-will shown to Bellevue by the officers of the U. S. Aviation 
service at Mitchell Field and the trouble they took in getting the 
photograph which is reproduced as the frontispiece; to Major Moose, 
the commanding officer of Mitchell Field, Major Bauer in command 
of the Medical Research Laboratory and Captain John B. Power, 
M.C., formerly House Physician on the First Division of Bellevue, 
now at Mitchell Field we extend our thanks for this great favor. 

Through the good offices of Lieut.-Col. William S. Terriberry, we 
obtained the photograph of the portrait of Surgeon General Gorgas 
and the statement that Brigadier General Noble thinks this the 
very best likeness that he has seen; it shows General Gorgas as 
he looked just prior to his retirement. 

All those of Bellevue who died in the war are recorded here. 
There are no available data concerning all Bellevue men who served 
in the war. It will be understood that this record comprises only 
the services of members of the society both at home and abroad and 
whether in uniform or not; there were a good many others of the 
staff, some who were not eligible to membership, but the greater 
number of graduates of the house staff are included. One hundred 
and forty-four Bellevue nurses went into the service. 

It is difficult to give a clear description of the disarrangement and 
confusion that prevailed at the hospital because of the war. This 
went so far that the Bellevue authorities had to request of the War 
Department a ruling that doctors, nurses and hospital workers should 
not be called into active service while on duty in the hospital, as 
otherwise it would be impossible for the hospital to carry on. The 
list of Associate Members shows a number granted military leave, 
but these are those only who had reached the grade of house physician 
or surgeon. Mr. James K. Paulding, the secretary of the Board 
of Trustees was requisitioned by the Red Cross and sent to France 
in November, 1917; he was away on military leave till the summer 
of rp 19 . 19- Tne cnan g e s, as a matter of fact, were constant. 

This was by no means the first time such a thing had occurred 
at Bellevue however. During the civil war in the entire period, 
1861-1865, of ninety-one men on the house staff, six died while 
on duty, and of the eighty-five that were left, forty-nine entered 



military service and six others after completing their full time. 

Courses in military surgery were given at the hospital in 1917 
and also in radiology; the latter by Doctor I. S. Hirsch. All the 
members of the psychiatric department were called into the service 
and many of the pathological; Doctor Guy Halifax Wallace of this 
department was commissioned in the Canadian army but had to 
be discharged for disability; he died of pneumonia in December, 
1918. Doctor Benjamin M. Vance was in the A.E.F. and was 
wounded. The enlisted men of the Bellevue unit were taken into 
the wards in detachments and given instruction by the nurses before 
going oversea. 

The historian has received a great deal of aid in proof-reading, 
particularly in the matter of the Roll of Members, from Doctor 
Eben Foskett and in other ways as well. 

The executives of the Edgar Printing Company have been very 
efficient and very considerate in the matter of construction and 
reconstruction.

HERBERT JONES 



HERBERT JONES 

Major, Canadian Army Medical Corps, 

Surgeon 5th Canadian Field Ambulance, 

2nd Canadian Division, B.E.F. 

Died at Aubigny, Pas-de-Calais, March 5, 1917. 

House Physician on the Fourth Medical Division from 
January till July, 1911; A.B., University of Toronto, 1900, 
M.D., 1904. 

Doctor Jones was born in Hamilton, Ontario, on Sep- 
tember 2, 1874. He was educated at the Hamilton Central 
Public School and then at the Collegiate Institute in that 
city before entering the arts course at Toronto. After his 
graduation in medicine he went to Europe for post-graduate 
work, studying in London, Vienna, Berlin and in France, 
but most of his time during two years abroad he spent 
under Finkelstein in Berlin and he returned there after 
finishing his interneship at Bellevue in 1911, for six months 
further study, especially in diseases of children which he 
intended making his specialty. 

Beginning practice in his native city he soon became 
one of the chief consulting practitioners in children's dis- 
eases in Hamilton and the surrounding country; he was 
Chief of the Children's Department in Hamilton General 
Hospital. 

Doctor Jones was now forty years old; he had spent 
a great deal of time in preparing himself and was well 
established in his profession when the war began. He 
was unmarried — he did not hesitate; in October, 1914, he 
volunteered for service. On December 12th he was commis- 
sioned Captain in the Canadian Army Medical Corps and 
appointed to the 5th Field Ambulance in Toronto. Captain 
Jones proceeded oversea on April 18, 1915 and for five 



Herbert H 011*0 

months he was stationed at Otterspool on the Mersey. He 
arrived in France on September 19th. On November 20, 
1915 he was promoted to the rank of Major. He served 
in France and Belgium. 

In the early summer of 1916 Major Jones got leave of 
absence and went to England. This was to meet Miss 
Nellie Paulin of Toronto. They were married in London 
on June 13th, and shortly he returned to the front. 

The great assault on Verdun which had begun in Febru- 
ary, 1916, had enforced quiet, comparatively speaking, on 
the British front but preparations were now making for 
the "great push" on the Somme. The Canadians, with 
their 2nd and 3rd Divisions arrived, were formed into an 
army corps. Already they had an established reputation 
as proper fighters. Early in the year 1915, at the second 
battle of Ypres, they had shown superb valor, holding the 
line in the first asphyxiating gas attack and so saving the 
British army from defeat and later at Givenchy, before 
Loos. 

In April, 1916, the 2nd Division fought at St Eloi and 
after the battle of the Somme began, again covered them- 
selves with glory in the terrific fighting at Courcelette. 
Major Jones served through this fighting. The casualities 
in the Canadian army from the beginning of June till the 
end of 1916 were over forty-seven thousand men. 

Toward the end of February, 1917, Major Jones was 
taken down with pneumonia and on March 5th he suc- 
cumbed; he died at No. 42 Casualty Clearing Station at 
Aubigny, northwest of Arras. 

Mrs. Jones was at Crowsborough in Sussex, England, 
and there, three weeks after her husband's death, on March 
27th, a child was born to her. 

Mrs. Jones, with her daughter, Mary Pauline, is now 
living with her brother, Captain, Reverend J. B. Paulin 
at 36 North Sherburne Street, Toronto. 

Major Herbert Jones was the first Bellevue man to lay 
down his life in the war. 




HAROLD SYDNEY MORGAN 



HAROLD SYDNEY MORGAN 

Lieutenant, M.C., U.S.A. 

Surgeon 9th Battalion, Royal Irish Fusiliers, 

36th Division, B.E.F. 

British Military Cross — posthumous. 

Killed in action near Wulverghem, Flanders, 
April 12, 1918. 

Harold Sydney Morgan joined the House Staff on 
January 1, 1916, having received the two-year surgical ap- 
pointment on the Second Division. On July 1, 1917, he 
entered on his house service; on August 1st he obtained a 
lieutenant's commission and on August 8th, at his own re- 
quest, he was granted indefinite leave from Bellevue to enter 
military service. He joined the replacement group of Base 
Hospital 2 (Presbyterian Unit) which went over to fill 
the places of men withdrawn from that unit and sent to 
the British front. This group left New York on October 
3rd aboard the "Cedric," and reported at Base Hospital 2 
at ktretat on October 17th. 

Lieutenant Morgan was here but a little over five weeks. 
Before daybreak on November 24th he and two others set 
out on orders to report directly to the 36th, Ulster, Division, 
B.E.F. The senior of these three, Captain Harold M. Hays 
in his book "Cheerio," which he dedicated to the memory 
of Sydney Morgan and others, feelingly describes their 
tribulations during the hunt of a day and a half for the 
Thirty-sixth. Lieutenant Morgan was attached at first to 
a field ambulance and sent to an advanced dressing station 
but before the end of the year he was made battalion sur- 
geon to the Royal Irish Fusiliers, which constituted the 
109th Brigade of the division then stationed a few miles 



^aioltt &j>biup S^ocgan 

north of Peronne. While with the ambulance and the 
Fusiliers he had been under shell-fire and airplane bombing, 
but the real experience was to come. 

Harold Sydney Morgan was born in Winton, near Scran- 
ton, Pennsylvania, on May 2, 1890. His father, Davy 
Morgan, was from Pontypridd, Wales, and his mother, Ellen 
M. (Shafer) Morgan was a native of London. He attended 
the primary school in Winton and finished his preliminary 
education in San Diego, California, graduating at the High 
School there in 1908 at the age of eighteen. He then en- 
tered Leland Stanford University where he took the A.B. 
degree in 1912. His medical studies began at Stanford in 
1911 and were completed at Hopkins in 1915. While still 
a medical student in the summer of 1914, he served as as- 
sistant to Doctor Wilfred T. Grenfell on the Hospital Ship 
"Strathcona" down on the Labrador. With his doctor's 
degree he came direct to New York, stood for the Belle- 
vue House Staff and received the appointment already 
stated. He took an active part in all student activities; at 
the high school he was a member of Gamma Eta Kappa 
and a Phi Delta Theta man at Leland Stanford; at Johns 
Hopkins of the Pithotomy Club. 

Lieutenant Morgan's mental make-up made him a great 
addition to any circle; he possessed a buoyancy of spirits 
and an equanimity of temper that altogether fitted him for 
the company he was now in. Moreover he was large, of 
athletic build, capable of much endurance. He was a great 
tennis player — supreme on the courts at Bellevue and ten- 
nis champion at Johns Hopkins, Stanford and at high school. 

The chief conflicts in which the Royal Irish Fusiliers 
fought in the spring of 1918 were the second battle of the 
Somme and the battle of the Lys and Lieutenant Morgan was 
in both. On March 21st, the titanic drive of the Germans 
began that almost carried through to Amiens. In the British 
line, as part of General Gough's Fifth Army, the 36th 
Division was on a 6000 yard front before St. Quentin, ex- 
tending from the river Somme south to near Urvillers, the 
109th Brigade which included the 9th Battalion, being on 



!£atol& &pD!up S^otgan 

the north and left, at the river. Three German divisions 
attacked this one on this line. So severe was the fighting 
that of three shock battalions scarcely a man returned. It 
was here that Morgan earned the British Cross. Throughout 
the next several days the army was compelled to fight des- 
perate rear-guard actions; the Fusiliers at Grand Serau- 
court, Artemps, St. Simon and at Villeselve where, with the 
Royal Dragoons they held the German vanguard and drove 
it back, March 25th 

The second conflict was in April, on the northern front, 
the battle of the Lys. Here again, between Messines and 
Mont Kemmel Lieutenant Morgan showed the same fearless 
devotion and bravery as on the Somme; with the rear-guard 
as before, the division retiring from Messines toward 
Neuve Eglise on April 12th, about three in the afternoon 
he was on the field with two men tending the wounded, 
when a piece of shell hit him in the leg. The men were 
putting him on the stretcher when another shell-burst 
killed him and buried one of the men, both of whom were 
injured. Lieutenant Sydney Morgan was buried on the 
north side of the road where it passes Wulverghem, two- 
and-a-half kilometres west of Messines. 

On March 19th Lieutenant Morgan wrote from Grand 
Seraucourt where the Battalion was in reserve, to his friend, 
now a major, congratulating him on his promotion and 
saying that he himself had applied for leave and hoped to 
go to England, stopping on the way at fitretat. "I'd much 
like to see these poor unlucky devils who had to stay 
around the 'Base' while we were having the only real sport 
in the war — at the front." In three days and but a mile 
away he performed the deeds that won the Military Cross. 
During the last of these terrible days he wrote home, "Don't 
worry. I only hope you are all keeping as cheerful as 
I am here. I have no regrets." 

Harold Sydney Morgan is survived by his brothers, 
Davy S. Morgan, of Schenectady, New York and P. Victor 
Morgan, of San Diego, and his sisters, Mabel M. Elliott, 
Jeannette C. Morgan of San Diego, and Doctor Gwladys 



^arolb fepbnep fi^otgan 

M. Morgan, whose address is 535 Spreckels Building, San 
Diego, California. 

British Citation: 

"For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during 
the retirement from Grand Seraucourt on the morning of 
March 22nd. This officer was retiring behind the rear- 
guard, and on approaching Artemps was told that some 
wounded were still lying in Grand Seraucourt. Although 
he knew that the enemy were already on the outskirts of 
the village he returned at once with some stretcher-bearers 
and succeeded in bringing out the wounded. He thus at 
the commencement of the operations set a splendid example 
to his stretcher-bearers of devotion and courage." 

Military Cross — posthumous. 




MORRIS JACOB KARPAS 



MORRIS JACOB KARPAS 

Major, M.C, U.S.A. 

Base Hospital 117, A.E.F. 

Died at Savenay, Loire-Inferieure, July 4, 1918. 

Doctor Karpas joined the staff of Bellevue Hospital on 
February 15, 1912, and for the next three years and eight 
months he was Assistant Resident Alienist; he was on the 
assistant staff of the Manhattan State Hospital on Ward's 
Island for a number of years previously. He resigned his 
position at Bellevue in order to begin private practice. At 
the time he entered military service he held the positions 
of Chief of Clinic at the New York Neurological Institute, 
Adjunct Neurologist at the Montefiore Home and Hospital, 
Medical Director of the Hygiene Clinic of the Free Syna- 
gogue and Examiner in Psychiatry to the Children's Court; 
to the latter position he had been appointed by Mayor 
Mitchell in December, 1916. He was on a firm footing 
as a consulting physician in nervous and mental diseases 
and as an expert in the law courts. 

He had many difficulties to overcome in reaching this 
standing and it was by his own worth and efforts that he 
surmounted them. In 1892 he arrived in this country from 
Russia, a boy of thirteen. He had been tutored at home 
in St. Petersburg; here in New York he attended high 
school and held a Regent's diploma. Later on he taught 
in the Evening School for Foreigners in this city, studied 
medicine at the Long Island Medical College Hospital and 
received his doctor's degree in 1904. In 1909 he took 
courses at Zurich, Vienna and Berlin. 

Doctor Karpas had a broad knowledge of English, Ger- 
man and Russian literature, had acquired, indeed, a re- 
markable facility in English. He was a clear thinker and 



®$ozti& 3acob Ikatpag 

his medical writings were direct and lucid. A great addition 
to his technical knowledge was his care and his ability to 
get the patient's point of view — he took great pains in 
forming his opinions. He never overlooked the clinical 
history nor placed undue weight upon laboratory results. 

When the United States entered the war, Doctor Karpas 
obtained a captain's commission and was sent to Camp 
Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky; he went oversea 
with Base Hospital 117, the neuro-psychiatric unit, in 
the rank of Major in May, 1918. Shortly after the unit 
arrived at Savenay a group of officers which included 
Major Karpas was detached to Base Hospital 8 there to 
look after the psychiatric cases. 

When the news of Major Karpas's death reached Belle- 
vue it was not believed — the less so when his death was 
ascribed to angina pectoris. Nevertheless it was true. We 
are indebted to his friend and colleague, Doctor Sanger 
Brown, II, ex-Lieut.-Colonel, M.R.C., who sailed with him, 
for an account of the attending circumstances: "I was 
with him in Allentown just before we sailed and he seemed 
in very good shape in every way. On the voyage also he 
was in the best of spirits. He made a great many friends 
as he always did; this was not limited to the medical 
officers ... on a few occasions while walking up 
from the village to the hospital he suffered from acute 
pain in the cardiac region. He finally saw the physician 
in charge of the medical services. On physical examina- 
tion nothing could be found and he was advised to restrict 
his diet. However he continued to have the pain and felt 
somewhat concerned about it. Things went on this way 
until one day he was sitting in the office examining a pa- 
tient with two of the other doctors when suddenly he 
was taken with dyspnoea, became unconscious, and in less 
than a minute or two had breathed his last. There was 
no suffering and probably very little distress of any kind. 
He must have lost consciousness almost at once. At autopsy 
the coronary arteries were very sclerotic; the lumen was 
almost occluded, admitting a large needle. This was un- 

10 



S^otttg 31acob Batpas 

doubtedly the cause of his death. A military service was 
held . . . Major Karpas was the first officer to be 
buried there (in Savenay) ... to be followed by 
the deaths of officers and nurses, Miss Delano having died 
there after the Armistice. ... I recall very vividly 
a talk with Karpas about service in the war. He remem- 
bered his early life in Russia very well and naturally 
there was nothing he despised more than military service. 
However, he was glad to enter the service of the United 
States in the war. There was no question about his love 
for the country. He said he felt he could do it for no 
other country. No one could have been more unselfish 
than he. He had made his own way in life, his career was 
just beginning to open up and he was obliged to discon- 
tinue it all, and this he did without any hesitation."

DAVID EVERETT WHEELER 

Soldier of the Foreign Legion, French Army, 

Contract Surgeon, British War Office, 

Lieutenant, M.C., U.S.A., 16th Infantry, 1st Division, A.E.F. 

French Brigade Citation — Croix de Guerre, 

American Division Citation — posthumous, 

American Army Citation — posthumous. 

Killed in action at Missy-aux-Bois, July 19, 1918. 

David Everett Wheeler was the first Bellevue man to go 
across. He completed his service as House Surgeon on 
the Second Division on June 30, 1900, and so, when in 
1914 the great war began, he had been in active practice 
in the city of Buffalo for about fourteen years. He was 
then forty-one years old and his son was about to enter 
Cornell University. For all that, when the urgent need 
for more surgeons was made known, Doctor Wheeler con- 
sidered it a call to him and he lingered not upon the order 
of his going — he sailed from New York on October 7, 1914 
and Mrs. Wheeler went with him. Four years afterward 
she returned without him. 

When they arrived in France Surgeon Wheeler found 
that the shortest way to the front was to enlist as a common 
soldier in the renowned Foreign Legion. So he enlisted. 
The Legion with the Zouaves and Tirailleurs together, 
formed the redoubtable Moroccan Division of the French 
Army. 

In September, 1915, two major attacks were made by the 
Allies; a costly one by the British on Loos determined 
the appointment of Sir Douglas Haig to supreme command 
of the British army; the other was by the French — the bat- 
tle of Champagne; in this the Moroccan Division was en- 
gaged. Here, on September 28, 1915, Private Wheeler, 
among brave men, distinguished himself; under violent fire

and disregarding the fact that he was badly wounded him- 
self, he stayed to wait on those worse off than he. For 
this intrepid act he was mentioned in brigade orders and, 
on October 9th was awarded the Croix de Guerre. He was 
so severely wounded that he was kept out of the fighting 
for a long while after. He was taken first to the Hotel 
Dieu at Chalons-sur-Marne and after a few days there he 
was transferred to the American Hospital at Neuilly where 
he spent five months. He was then sufficiently recovered to 
take a surgical service at the American Ambulance during 
three months more, while completing his convalescence. 
Next he joined up with the British and from March until 
September, 1917, he was a Contract Surgeon to the British 
War Office. So Doctor Wheeler was a seasoned veteran, and 
when at last his own country joined the war, it rejoiced his 
indomitable soul. 

The first American troops thi t arrived in France landed 
at St. Nazaire in June and July, 1917; the 1st Division of 
regulars was formed of these troops and the infantry was 
sent to the Toul sector. Wheeler having obtained a com- 
mission as Lieutenant in the U. S. Medical Corps, was as- 
signed to the 16th Infantry, 1st Br gade, 1st Division. For 
a month after October 20th the D vision was in line just 
east of Nancy. The first American s.iot in the war was fired 
by Battery C, 6th Field Artillery, Division at 6.05 a. m. 
October 23rd; on November 3rd the firs imerican soldiers 
were killed — three men of Lieutenant Wheeler's regiment. 

Early in April, 1918, the division having finished its 
training, was sent around to the new line of battle on the 
west where sixty-four German divisions had driven nine- 
teen British divisions back to within a few miles of Amiens. 
On the 25th of the month the 1st Division relieved French 
troops on the Montdidier^ -• ) front at Cantigny. Here 
it remained for eleven wee' ring that time captured 

the town of Cantigny on M. he fight, small though 

it was in contrast marked big as a forecast of what the 
Americans could do. On July 5th the Division was relieved 
and on the 11th was mad part of General Mangin's 10th

Array and sent to Dammartin, twenty miles northeast of 
Paris, on the Paris-Soissons road. 

Marshal Foch was now preparing the great counter- 
stroke — the Aisne-Marne offensive against the exposed Ger- 
man flank that had been extended from Soissons, to the 
Marne at Chateau-Thierry. He chose for this vital thrust 
the 1st and 2nd American and the Moroccan divisions. 
The 1st Division had just arrived at Dammartin for a rest 
period for it had been almost constantly in line for six 
months past, but it was sent right back, eager and proud 
to fight. The attack was made southwest of Soissons from 
the Forest of Retz, the 1st Division being to the north and 
on the left of the line, the Moroccans next and the 2nd 
Division with the Marines to the south and right; the 1st 
brigade of the 1st Division, in which was the 16th Infantry, 
was right next the French. So here was Lieutenant Wheeler 
lined up with his old fri- nds oi the Legion again and it 
was a great joy to him *hat it was so. The battle is de- 
scribed in full detail in Captain Shipley Thomas's "History 
of the A.E.F.", who wes present attached to the 26th In- 
fantry. It began on Jmy 18th and that day across a wide 
plateau, through fields of wheat, the line was advanced 
half the distance to S'iissons. In the course of that day 
Lieutenant Wheeler gave proof once more of his fearless- 
ness, his invincible qualities and devotion to the wounded. 
And the next day also, at the Missy ravine; but this day, 
July 19th, was his last — he was killed here in the front line 
and he Hp nried nov* in the American cemetery at Ploissy 
close by th«. scene of Hs heroism. 

The following \ 1 account of an episode in the battle 
of Chi, oiember 28, 1915, is taken from a 

graphic st 'hat battle written by Doctor Wheeler, 

then a privau in the Foreign Legion: 

"As we entered the wood a squall of bullets separated 
us from our officers. It ruffled the earth as a cat's-paw of 
wind ruffles still water. I Junk a machine gun must have 
come to rest and sprayed all its bullets on this one spot. 
We privates hesitated as one hes>ates at the edge of a brook

seen unexpectedly across the path. "Jump!" called Tortel. 
I was the only one who made the leap safely and in doing 
so I got a bullet-graze on the left leg and a coat-tail torn 
by a riccochet. One of the men fell in the track of the 
bullets and was rolled over and over by them; pack, pack, 
pack! they sounded on his body which they drove six feet 
along the earth before it came to rest. 

I took my pipe out of my mouth, presented arms as 
the regulations required when speaking to an officer, and 
said to Captain Tortel: "Mon capitaine, je n'ai pas de 
cravate! est il assez chaud?" His rather expressionless 
face relaxed in the dry humorous look which usually pre- 
saged his remarks, but before he could say anything he 
dropped on his back apparently dead. . . . The next 
moment I found myself lying on the ground ... a 
riccochet bullet had cut the two large muscles in the calf 
of my leg." 

Another quotation is from a captain in the 16th U. S. 
Infantry : 

"Nothing the enemy could do could in any way affect 
his plans or what he did. Around Cantigny the battalion 
observers reports used to read: "3.15, Lieut. Wheeler seen 
proceeding from Battalion Aid Station to St. Aignon Ceme- 
tery; 3.35, Lieut. Wheeler seen proceeding from cemetery 
to La Pellissier Farm; 3.43, Lieut. Wheeler seen proceed- 
ing from farm to P. C. Marguerite, etc., etc. He always 
went overland across the top, and what endeared him to 
the soldiers, he never waited for wounded men to be 
brought to his aid station; after a shelling of one's position 
one could look out and tell that some one was hurt by 
the progress of "Doc" Wheeler running through the wheat 
on his way to the spot. ... In an assemblage as notable 
for bravery as the Sixteenth Infantry he was eminent for 
courage, and among officers whose pride was their atten- 
tion to their men he was foremost. His conduct was the 
standard to which the infantry desired medical officers to 
conform and none, in my experience, came near him."

RAE WYGANT WHIDDEN 



RAE WYGANT WHIDDEN 

Captain, M.C., U.S.A. 

Died in Boston, Massachusetts, September 25, 1918. 

Doctor Whidden joined the Bellevue Hospital staff in 
July, 1912, as Assistant Physician to Out-Patients on the 
Tuberculosis Service. The quality of his work and the 
interest he took in this service brought him advancement 
in 1914 — he became Physician to Out-Patients and Adjunct 
Assistant Visiting Physician and in 1916 he was promoted 
again, this time to the wards as Visiting Physician on the 
Tuberculosis Service. The following May, having mean- 
while been commissioned Lieutenant, M.R.C., he was 
granted indefinite leave for military service. He was a 
Harvard man, taking the A.B. degree in 1908 and the M.D. 
degree in 1911, and he sailed in May, 1917, to join the 
Harvard Unit, known as Base Hospital 5; he reached 
Boulogne, where this unit was stationed, on June 22nd. 

Base Hospital 5 was the second of these organizations 
to go across; it was assigned to work with the British Ex- 
peditionary Forces and was one of the Dannes-Camiers 
group of hospitals just south of Boulogne, Pas-de-Calais. 
This unit had the distinction of looking so much like an 
ammunition dump — according to the Germans — that it suf- 
fered terribly in an air raid. It was an hour before mid- 
night on September 4, 1917, when this occurred; Lieutenant 
Fitzsimmons, M.C., U.S.A., the adjutant and two en- 
listed men were killed outright and nineteen were 
wounded; among the latter was Lieutenant Whidden, a 
piece of shrapnel entering his chest. He was taken at 
once to No. 20 General Hospital, the main British hospital 

17 



in the group and later sent to England where he was kept 
a long while. He was promoted on September 25th to the 
rank of Captain, M.C., U.S.A. When he was sufficiently 
recovered, Captain Whidden came home on a long sick- 
leave and went out to California to visit his family; when 
this leave was over he was given duty at the Presidio, San 
Francisco for a while, then at Camp Pike, Little Rock, 
Arkansas and then at Camp Dix, New Jersey. He was at 
Camp Dix in September, 1918, during the influenza epi- 
demic and he found the work very hard; he was allowed 
ten days leave and he went to Boston to spend it with his 
many friends there; he developed influenza soon after his 
arrival and entered Massachusetts General Hospital with 
pneumonia, but he died on September 25, 1918, aged thirty- 
three years. He was expecting soon to be sent back to 
France. 

The Whidden family came from England in 1660 and 
settled in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Captain Whidden 
was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on August 24, 1885. 
His father, William Marcy Whidden, was born in Boston 
and his mother, Alice McLoughlin (Wygant) Whidden, in 
Portland, Oregon; Mrs. Whidden is a descendant of Doc- 
tor John McLoughlin, the Chief Factor for twenty years on 
the Pacific Coast of the Hudson's Bay Company. Captain 
Whidden had a twin sister who was in the American Red 
Cross service during the war; she died in Flushing, New 
York, just six months after he died and of the same disease; 
she was a frequent visitor to the tuberculosis wards at 
Bellevue during the period of her brother's service there. 
He was unmarried; he is survived by his father and mother 
and two younger brothers who now live in California; one 
served in the U. S. Navy for two years from April, 1917, 
while the other was exempted to maintain his ranch in the 
interests of the food supply. Mr. Whidden's address is: 
The Wilcox Building, or, The Arlington Club, Portland, 
Oregon. 

Captain Whidden was a member of the American Medical 
and the National Tuberculosis Associations, the Association 

18 



of Military Surgeons of the United States, the New York 
State and County Medical societies, the New York Academy 
of Medicine and the Boylston Medical Society. He was 
Attending Physician to the Presbyterian Hospital Dispen- 
sary and Visiting Physician to Seton and Manhattan Eye, 
Ear and Throat hospitals.

ROBERT GOLDTHWAITE 

Captain, M.C., U.S.A. 
Evacuation Hospital 22, A.E.F. 

Died in Allery, Saone-et-Loire, France, September 30, 1918. 

Robert Goldthwaite was House Surgeon on the Fourth 
Division from April till October, 1894. Doctor Henry 
Goldthwaite, a former member of this Society, who served 
as House Physician on the Second Division in 1876 was his 
father's cousin. The Goldthwaites came of a family dis- 
tinguished in Alabama; the grandfather of Robert, the 
Honorable George Goldthwaite, was at one time one of 
the United States Senators from that State; his father was 
Robert Goldthwaite, his mother, Annie Paul (Nesbitt) 
Goldthwaite, and he was born on August 29, 1872, in the 
city of Montgomery. 

Brought up in Montgomery and educated in the schools 
there, he was fitted for the University of Virginia from 
which institution he came to the Bellevue Hospital Medical 
College and here he took his doctor's degree in 1893. His 
cousin, Henry, was one of the instructors in the college for 
a good many years, a prominent practitioner in the city 
and physician to the famous Fifth Avenue Hotel where he 
lived. After finishing at Bellevue Robert Goldthwaite went 
back to Montgomery and he remained in active practice 
there till he entered the army in 1916. 

In June, 1916, he was commissioned Lieutenant in the 
Medical Reserve Corps and put on active service examining 
engineer recruits in Montgomery. In August, 1917, he 
toured the state in the interests of the Medical Reserve. 
He was ordered in September to the officers' school at Camp 
Greenleaf, Fort Oglethorpe, and in November, to Camp 
Jackson, Columbia, S. C, in the rank of Captain. Early 
in 1918 Evacuation Hospital 22 was organized at Camp

Sevier, Greenville, S. C, and Captain Goldthwaite was or- 
dered there. This organization sailed from New York on 
August 30th on the "Kroonland," arriving at Brest on Sep- 
tember 12th. Landing the next afternoon they had a two 
hours' march to Pontanezen Barracks. Captain Goldthwaite 
led the marching column; he was in fine health and spirits 
and kept his fellow officers amused by his witty remarks 
and running comments. On September 18th at 1 a. m. 
E. H. 22 started for Allery. "Soon after we left Brest," 
writes Lieutenant-Colonel E. Dunbar Newell, now of Chat- 
tanooga, who was in charge, "Captain Goldthwaite began 
to complain of headache and nausea and not feeling well. 
By the time we arrived at Allery . . . Captain Gold- 
thwaite was quite ill and we wired for an ambulance to 
meet us." . . . "He was taken at once to Base Hos- 
pital 26 that was commanded at that time by Lieutenant- 
Colonel Arthur Law of Minneapolis. We arrived at Allery 
at 11 p. m. on September 21, 1918." . . . "We all 
early realized that he was suffering from meningitis and 
although he was under the care of the staff of B.H. 26 we 
took an active interest in his case and I feel sure that every- 
thing that could possibly be done was done for him. Cap- 
tain Goldthwaite died on September 30, 1918." He was 
buried the next day after a very impressive military funeral, 
in the cemetery at Allery. 

Robert Goldthwaite was forty-six years old when he 
died. Two years after leaving Bellevue he married Miss 
Mary Phelan Watt and they had four children, all of whom 
survive him; his son, Robert, is a midshipman at the U. S. 
Naval Academy; his eldest child, Therese, a teacher in 
Montgomery schools; Anne Paul is secretary to the di- 
rector of the Alabama Child Welfare Department and the 
youngest, Ellen Phelan, is at school. Mrs. Goldthwaite 
has been, since her husband's death, secretary in the Home 
Service of the American Red Cross and Supervisor of At- 
tendance of the Montgomery Schools. Doctor Goldthwaite's 
mother, three sisters and two brothers are still living.

JOHN EDWIN RAY 

Captain, M.C., U.S.A., 119th Infantry, 

30th Division, 2nd American Corps, 

serving with the British Army. 

British Military Cross. 

American Distinguished Service Cross — posthumous. 

Mortally wounded near Bellicourt, September 30, 
Died at Tourville, Seine-Inferieure, October 5, 1918. 

John Edwin Ray was a son of Finie (Carter) Ray and 
the late John Edwin Ray. He was born in Hendersonville, 
North Carolina on November 29, 1888. He studied at 
Wake Forest, N. C, and received the degree A.B. from that 
college in 1908. After spending two years in the study 
of medicine at the University of North Carolina he came 
to New York in 1910 and was admitted to advanced stand- 
ing at Cornell, receiving his doctor's degree with the class 
of 1912. He obtained a full two-year appointment on the 
Bellevue Hospital House Staff and completed his term as 
House Surgeon on the Second Division on June 30, 1914. 
Ray served on the staff concurrently with Mead who was 
House Physician on the same division. There is a re- 
markable similarity in the way the times and circumstances 
affected these two friends and colleagues. 

Doctor Ray went back to his home state to practice and 
opened an office in Raleigh intending to build up a surgical 
reputation; the ability and judgment he displayed at House 
Surgeon should have given him great hope of success. 
Soon, however, these plans were interrupted. The Mexican 
difficulty took Doctor Ray to the Border with the North 
Carolina Guard in the rank of medical Lieutenant in the 
2nd North Carolina Infantry and there he spent the long

winter of 1916-17 in the wind and sand of that delectable 
region. 

When this regiment was mustered into the federal service 
it was called the 119th Infantry, sent to Camp Sevier, 
Greenville, S. C, and made part of the 30th Division — the 
"Old Hickory Division." 

Captain Ray arrived oversea on May 24, 1918, the en- 
tire division crossing during May and June, landing at 
Calais. The infantry went into training in the school of 
real war with the British at Eperlecques, Pas-de-Calais, 
first as individuals, then platoons, then battalions. The 
need for reinforcements was so great, however, that before 
their training was far advanced the division was made a 
part of the 2nd British Army in the Ypres sector and set 
at completing the Poperinghe defense systems. Thus they 
were the first American troops to enter Belgium which they 
did on July the Fourth. On August 17th the division took 
over from the 33rd British Division the sector extending 
from Ypres south to Voormezelle known as the Canal 
Sector; the 60th Brigade, which included the 119th regi- 
ment, was put in the front line and the 59th Brigade in 
support. On August 3 1st- September 1st they, and the 14th 
British on their left and the 27th American on their right 
attacked the Germans and captured all their objectives 
including the village of Voormezelle and advanced the 
line nearly a mile. 

The Thirtieth then went into reserve for training with 
the British tanks and on September 22nd it was transferred 
to the 4th British Army under General Rawlinson, replacing 
the 1st Australians in the front line opposite Bellicourt and 
the St. Quenlin Canal. Here again they were joined on 
their left by their compatriots of the Twenty-seventh. These 
two American divisions operated entirely with the British 
until the Armistice. 

A tremendous conflict had raged all along the western 
front since August 2nd and now the army of Marshal Haig 
was to storm the Hindenburg defenses; here was its most 
formidable section on the west, where the St. Quentin Canal 

23 



runs underground for several miles. The tunnel is of the 
time of the First Napoleon; it is about seventy feet wide 
and runs about fifty feet below the surface. It had been 
strongly fortified by the Germans, a great net-work of sub- 
terranean passages emerged to the surface all around; it 
was filled with barges and was the hiding place of an en- 
tire division of troops. The Germans considered it impreg- 
nable. Besides, the attacking force had to go through three 
lines of wire before the line of the canal, for the main 
Hindenburg line lay about two hundred yards west of this 
tunnel and the Out-Post line still further west. 

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was present on this battlefield 
and he says of the fighting: "What with fog and smoke it 
was difficult to see more than a few feet in any direction, 
and this was a great disadvantage to the stormers, the more 
so to troops who are so individual as the Americans. The 
Thirtieth Division on the right, a unit raised in the Caro- 
linas and Tennessee, dashed through the main Hindenburg 
Line in the most gallant fashion, capturing Bellicourt on 
the way, while the veteran Australian Fifth Division passed 
through their cheering ranks after they had reached their 
allotted limit." . . . "the British, American and Aus- 
tralian dead lay along the same battle-line." . 
"Neither the blue-clad infantry of Grant, nor the grey 
confederates of Lee, showed a higher spirit than the khaki- 
clad lads who fought alongside the British that day." This 
was on the 29th and 30th of September and here it was that 
the gallant Ray upheld his own and his country's honor. 
His mother, Mrs. Ray, writes: "He fell five hundred yards 
over the Hindenburg Line, on the second day of the attack 
breaking the Hindenburg Line, September 30, 1918. On 
duty at his aid post he was wounded in the upper thigh by a 
fragment of high explosive shell, was carried to Tourville 
to Base 74, B. E. F., dying October 5th. Buried with full 
military honors in the cemetery at Tourville, his casket 
covered with the Union Jack and Old Glory." Captain 
Ray was not quite thirty years old when he died. His body 
was brought home last year, 1921, and lies now in Oak- 

24 



wood Cemetery in Raleigh. Besides his mother, Mrs. John 
E. Ray, his sisters, Mrs. C. 0. Abernethy and Mrs. Arthur 
Henderson and his brothers, Burton J. Ray (Ph.D., Cornell), 
who is a chemist and Hardy M. Ray are living. Mrs. Ray's

the attack, he established his battalion first aid post in 
the front line trench. With a smile he remarked: 'Is any- 
body around here afraid to die?' He advanced his aid 
post with the advancing infantry, and continued treatment 
of the wounded until he himself was so severely wounded 
that he had to be taken to the rear, died in this hospital." —

52nd Brigade, 27th Division, A.E.F. 

New York State Military Cross. 

Mortally wounded near Brabant, Meuse, 

Died in Glorieux, Meuse, October 29, 1913. 

Doctor Mead was Adjunct Assistant Visiting Physician 
on the Second Division when he was granted an indefinite 
leave of absence for military duty on August 3, 1917. He 
had been promoted to this position in the Out-Patient De- 
partment in the month of February after he had served 
two years. He first came to Bellevue in 1912 as an interne 
on the Second Division and he served as House Physician 
from January till July, 1914; his service coincided with 
John Edwin Ray's on the surgical side. He was a Cornell 
man having graduated in arts at Ithaca in 1908 and taken 
the medical degree in 1912. While attending the pre-med- 
ical course in Ithaca, he assisted in histology and embry- 
ology. Before entering the army he was in private practice 
in this city. 

He joined the New York National Guard and went to 
the Mexican Border with these troops in June 1916 in the 
rank of Lieutenant attached to the 1st Field Artillery as 
surgeon, where he remained till November 15th. This 
regiment was mustered into the federal service as the 104th 
F. A., 27th Division; it trained at Camp Wadsworth, Spar-

tenant Ray was, with the 119th Infantry of the 30th 
Division. 

He was at Camp Wadsworth till May 12, 1918, except 
for about ten weeks on the artillery range at Glassy Rock, 
S. C. He sailed for France from Newport News on June 
30th and arrived at Brest on July 13, 1918. In March, 
while at Glassy Rock, he was promoted Captain. 

The infantry of these two divisions was assigned to the 
British but the artillery was not; Captain Mead's regiment 
was sent into training at Souge, very near Bordeaux — a 
terrible place, from all accounts, of heat and sand and 
flies. In the line it supported and was part of the 33rd 
and later the 79th American Divisions both of the 17th 
Corps of the French army under General Claudel. 

So now the paths of these two Bellevue friends diverged, 
but not for so very long — a few months and these two men 
were mortally wounded, in practically the same manner, 
one on the 30th of September, the other on the 29th of 
October; and in the same month of October, one with the 
British Army, the other with the American, fighting for 
the same cause, showing the same courage, the same daunt- 
less spirit, they carried through. 

The 104th F. A. moved in from Camp de Souge on 
August 31st to the Verdun sector and served in the Meuse- 
Argonne offensive at Montzeville, La Claire, Forges 
Woods, Consenvoye and Brabant-sur-Meuse, and Captain 
Mead with it. 

But here, at Brabant was the end; here Captain Mead 
was to show what manner of man he was; that the genial, 
smiling Captain Mead was a man with iron nerve, and 
then — to die. Lieut.-Colonel James E. Austin of the 104th 
Field Artillery has written the following account: "During 
my entire war service I kept a personal diary and religiously 
wrote it up each day. On October 29, 1918, I have jotted 
down that we were heavily shelled throughout the day. 
Telephone lines severed eight times since daybreak.

Battalion, 104th F.A.) was living in my dug-out on Mal-

brouck Hill, northeast of Brabant-sur-Meuse, we having 
occupied that position during the night. At about 8:00 
a.m. the 'phone rang, Battery D reporting casualities and 
asking for a medical man. Captain Mead said he would 
go over himself and immediately started out. Only a few 
minutes later while on his way, he was hit in the right 
shoulder and arm by a fragment of shell which exploded 
nearby, killing a mule. This happened on the road leading 
southwest to Brabant and midway between the battalion 
post of command and the batteries. Captain Lawson was 
sent by me to help Captain Mead. A doctor happening 
along administered a hypo and the first ambulance with 
space in it was halted. Captain Mead was conscious, saying 
a few approved things about Germans in general, but com- 
plained of the pain and the probability of the loss of the 
use of his good right arm. He asked for the hypo him- 
self. We all confidently expected that he would recover. 

As we were in the line fighting, no one heard of his 
death until after the Armistice, when one of our men found 
his grave near the hospital at Glorieux where fitting ser- 
vices were held, the entire regiment turning out. He died 
the afternoon of the day he was hit from shock and loss 
of blood, according to the statement made at the hospital." 

He was removed to Evacuation Hospital 15, Glorieux 
(Verdun). Mrs. Mead was notified of his death in a letter 
from the Red Cross, an extract from which is as follows: 
"Central Records Office reports: Theodore Fletcher Mead, 
Captain Medical Corps, 104th F.A., died of wounds Oc- 
tober 29, 1918 C.C. 307: died in Evacuation Hospital 15, 
Glorieux Meuse; buried October 31, 1918, Glorieux, Meuse 
Military Cemetery." Mrs. Mead has had word from the 
U. S. Graves Registration Bureau that Captain Mead's 
permanent grave is not in the cemetery at Glorieux, but 
she has never had any other location given her. His body 
has probably been transferred to the American cemetery 
at Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, Meuse. 

The mother of Captain Mead has two gold stars for her 
two sons lost in the war. Four days after the Captain's

death his only brother, Leland Clark Mead, "was wounded 
by a piece of shell as he was assisting (the surgeon) in 
an aid station in the Argonne forest and died the next morn- 
ing. He is now buried in the Argonne American cemetery. 

Dr. spoke very highly of the efficient service he 

had rendered him, of his loyalty and his excellent record 
as a soldier. I am proud to be the mother of two such fine 
American men." 

Private Mead served with the medical troops of the 361st 
Infantry, 91st Division. In the battle of Meuse-Argonne 
this division was in line north of Avocourt and advanced 
through Epionville, the Bois de Cheppy, Boise de Very and 
the Bois de Epinettes and dug-in before Gesnes; here it 
was that Private Mead received his mortal wound. 

Theodore Fletcher Mead was born in Morrisville, Mad- 
ison County, New York, on June 29, 1885; he was, there- 
fore, over thirty-three years old. He attended Colgate 
Academy at Hamilton, New York, before going to Cornell. 
He was a member of the American Medical Association 
and of the Phi Club. 

On June 10, 1912, he married Miss Ruth Fahnestock of 
Ithaca and they had one child, Elizabeth F. Mead, who was 
born November 28, 1915, both of whom survive him. Mrs. 
Mead, now Mrs. Edward F. Guilford, resides at 437 W. 
Orange Street, Lancaster, Penn. Captain Mead's mother's 
address is: Mrs. Frank A. McCoy, 222 Goundry Street, 
North Tonawanda, New York. 

Theodore F. Mead Post No. 191, American Legion,

JOSEPH BIDLEMAN BISSELL 

Major, M.C., U.S.A. 

Chief of the Surgical Service, General Hospital 2, 
Fort McHenry, Maryland. 

Died in New York, December 2, 1918. 

When the United States entered the war Doctor Bissell 
was very anxious to get into the army to do his share and 
although he was fifty-nine years old, he succeeded finally. 
He received a commission as Major and was ordered to 
Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Michigan, in July, 1918, where 
he spent about six weeks in intensive training. Intensive 
is right; he was thrilled by it and, much to his delight 
and satisfaction, he was ordered to take charge of the 
surgical service at Fort McHenry. On his way there he 
spent two or three days at home, full of enthusiasm and 
eager to be at it. Once at his post he worked with un- 
remitting zeal but the work was too laborious for him. In 
November he began to realize this but he would not ask 
for leave — he did not wish "to be thought a quitter." He 
was, as a matter of fact, sick. He was compelled to lay 
off, but he asked only for leave over the Thanksgiving 
holidays. 

Immediately after his arrival home he was so overcome 
by weakness that he was forced to go to bed. In a day 
or two it was proved that he had septicaemia due to the 
streptococcus hasmolyticus. In the forlorn hope that he 
might yet be saved he received a transfusion of blood, but — 
on December 2, 1918 he died — in line of duty. 

Doctor Bissell served as interne in Charity, not Bellevue 
Hospital; he was house surgeon in the former hospital 

32

in 1884. After leaving Charity he studied in Vienna and 
Munich and when he returned home he was appointed 
Visiting Surgeon to St. Vincent's Hospital, which position 
he held at the time of his death. He joined the Fourth 
Division, Bellevue Staff in 1897 and was Director of the 
surgical service and a member of the Executive Committee 
when he went to Fort McHenry. 

He was born in Lakeville, Connecticut, in 1858 and at- 
tended school at the Armenia, New York, Seminary. Then 
he went to Yale and took the Ph.B. degree in 1879. While 
at Yale he was editor of the "Yale News." He was a mem- 
ber of the Alphi Chi and Chi Phi societies. His medical 
diploma he received from Columbia in 1883. He was a 
member of the Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital for 
fourteen years. He was a fellow of the American Medical 
Association and the American College of Surgeons, a mem- 
ber of the American Urological Association, the New York 
Academy of Medicine and the Alumni Society of the City 
Hospital. 

Doctor Bissell was a prominent advocate of the thera- 
peutic use of radium and had worked in that field for 
about eight years. He was president of the American 
Radium Society and surgical director of the New York 
Radium Institute. 

He was sixty years old when he died; his widow, now 
Mrs. Bradford Merrill, lives at Great Neck, New York, 
and his daughters, Mrs. Laurence Millet and Mrs. Law- 
rence Jones and his sons, Joseph B. and Karl H. Bissell, 
also survive him.

WILLIAM CRAWFORD GORGAS. 

Major-General, M.C., U.S.A., 

Distinguished Service Medal, 

Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and 

St. George. 

Died in London, July 4, 1920. 

When Major Walter Reed had finished his report as head 
of the committee on the spread of typhoid fever in the 
army, he was ordered to Cuba as chief of a commission 
to study yellow fever. This commission convened in Havana 
early in 1900. General Leonard Wood, a graduate in 
medicine, then in his fortieth year, was at that time military 
governor of Cuba, Major Gorgas, the chief sanitary officer, 
and Havana, after two years of effort had been cleaned up. 

Seldom was research begun under fairer auspices when, 
like a challenge to medical science, yellow fever broke out 
in epidemic form. 

The chief actors in the drama that now opened were the 
four members of the commission: Major Reed at the head, 
had taken his degree at the Bellevue Hospital Medical Col- 
lege in 1873, six years before Major Gorgas. He was three 
years older than Gorgas, being then in his forty-ninth year. 
He was now professor of bacteriology in the Army Medical 
School in Washington and a constant worker in the labora- 
tories of Professors Councilman and Welch in the new Johns 
Hopkins School. Next to Major Reed was Doctor James 
Carroll, a post-graduate student at Hopkins and a co-worker 
with him there. He was the bacteriologist of the commis- 
sion. The third member was Lazear. 

DOCTOR JESSE WILLIAM LAZEAR was appointed 
Junior on the House Staff of Bellevue Hospital on April 1, 
1892 and served as House Physician on the First Division 
from April till October, 1893. He was a graduate of Johns

Hopkins in arts of the class of 1889 and of Columbia in 
medicine in 1892. He was the first to obtain from the blood 
the micrococcus of Neisser; this he did while an interne 
in Bellevue while investigating a case of endocarditis. 
Doctor Lazear was the scientific clinician and investigator 
combined in one and a modest, unboastful one, devoted 
to work — a most companionable man, moreover. He joined 
this Society as soon as he left the hospital and began 
practice in this city, but in a short time he went to Europe 
for a year's study at the University of Edinburgh, and at 
the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Returning to this country 
he was appointed bacteriologist to Johns Hopkins Hos- 
pital and assistant in clinical microscopy in that university. 
He continued membership in the Society of Alumni of 
Bellevue Hospital. 

At this time that work of the greatest importance to the 
world at large was going forward: the investigations in 
malaria — tracing the development of the malarial parasite 
in man, in the mosquito and back to man again, and it 
engaged all the energy and enthusiasm of Doctor Lazear. 
At the time of the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, 
he was one of the two or three experts on this side of the 
Atlantic on the histology of the malarial organism and its 
life-cycle in the malarial mosquito. It was this that singled 
him out for membership on the Yellow Fever Commission. 

Today, the sole surviving member of this famous com- 
mission is Doctor Aristides Agramonte, a native of Cuba, 
the son of General Agramonte, who was killed in battle 
in 1872. The family, coming to New York to live, the son 
was educated in the public schools of this city and studied 
medicine at Columbia graduating in fact with Lazear. He 
was appointed then assistant bacteriologist in the city 
health department and he was a frequent visitor in the 
Pathological Department of Bellevue. Afterward he worked 
in Major Reed's laboratory on the identification of the 
bacillus icteroides that Sanarelli claimed was the cause 
of yellow fever. On the commission he had charge of the 
pathological work. 



Ctfilliam Ctatofotb CSorgas 

The first human experiments were made on the members 
of the commission, Doctor Lazear leading off. The result 
in his case was not a success. Then Doctor Carroll sub- 
mitting to the ordeal, was inoculated by means of several 
of Doctor Lazear's brood of mosquitoes; he came safely 
through a very severe attack. Doctor Agramonte was im- 
mune. But it was the bite of a random mosquito in the 
yellow fever ward that brought to Lazear the tragic end. 
After five days, two chills ushered in the attack; in three 
days more the dread black vomit came. He knew what 
this foreshadowed; he had already placed in Doctor Car- 
roll's hands all his notes; he knew he had but a few days 
more to live. Doctor Lazear died at Quemados, a suburb 
of Havana, on September 25, 1900, in his thirty-fifth year. 

He was born in Baltimore on May 2, 1866. He left a 
widow and two small children, one of whom he had never 
seen. He lies interred in the Louden Park Cemetery in 
Baltimore. 

In 1913 the President issued an order naming the bat- 
teries of coast artillery in honor of certain distinguished 
officers of the army and among these is this one: "Battery 
Lazear in honor of Dr. Jesse Lazear of Baltimore, Md., 
late an acting Assistant Surgeon, United States Army, who 
while on a visit to Las Animas Hospital, Havana, Cuba, 
on September 13, 1900, and while collecting blood from 
yellow fever patients for scientific study, was bitten by a 
culex mosquito and deliberately allowed it to satisfy its 
hunger and as a result contracted yellow fever, of which 
he died on September 25, 1900, thus by his self-sacrifice 
positively determining that the mosquito carries yellow 
fever infection." 

The story of this research is truly dramatic: the person- 
nel; the swift change of plan from a fruitless search for 
the specific germ as waste of time and effort, to the detec- 
tion of the mode of propagation of the disease; the experi- 
ments on human subjects; the call for volunteers; their 
response and high courage; the tragic end of Doctor

Lazear — all this in the short space of one year, and finally 
then, the climax. 

The brilliant work and heroic achievements of the great 
commission were made of enduring benefit to the world 
by the work of Major Gorgas. He had been an onlooker, 
somewhat skeptical of the mosquito theory, but now he 
was convinced and he immediately changed his plans to 
conform to this discovery. In one year beginning March, 
1901, the number of cases of yellow fever in Havana were 
reduced from 1,240 to 31, and the number of deaths from 
305 to 6 — yellow fever was wiped out. 

The victory over yellow fever is the achievement of the 
four men of the commission — its subjugation, the achieve- 
ment of Major Gorgas. By special act of Congress in 1903 
Major Gorgas was made Colonel and Assistant Surgeon 
General and the next year he was sent to Panama as Chief 
Sanitary Officer; there he remained nine years. But in 
Panama there was not that beneficent combination of men 
in authority such as had been the case in Cuba, there was 
no General Wood there. The Canal Commission was badly 
organized and poorly directed, medical advice even from 
Colonel Gorgas was treated as medical advice often is. 
Colonel Gorgas was hampered in many ways; he could 
not get cooperation. It was not until Colonel Goethals 
became chief executive that the medical officer had free 
scope, and so the success in Cuba seemed for a time not 
to be the thing it really was. The innumerable complicating 
factors at Panama that were overcome by Colonel Gorgas 
prove his title to fame. It is Panama rather than Havana 
that is General Gorgas's monument. 

His reputation was now an international one; in 1913 
at the request of the British government he went to South 
Africa on leave of absence to investigate the cause of the 
high death rate from pneumonia in the Rand mines. On 
his return via England he was honored by the University 
of Oxford with the degree of Doctor of Science. He was 
made Surgeon General of the United States Army in 1914 
and in 1915 Congress raised him to the rank of Major- 

37 



Cftilliam Cratoforb Oorgao 

General. He was the first medical officer to hold that rank. 

General Gorgas made a preliminary survey of the port 
of Guayaquil in 1916 and in 1919 he spent several months 
on the West Coast of South America and made recom- 
mendations to the governments of Ecuador and Peru at their 
request that have resulted in nearly exterminating yellow 
fever there, particularly in Ecuador where greater attention 
was paid to his advice. 

As Surgeon General during the world war he did very 
active service and in 1918 he made a tour of inspection 
in France. He was a persistent advocate of giving rank 
to medical men entering the army from civil life, in keeping 
with their professional attainments. 

While he was living in Panama Colonel Gorgas joined 
the Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital and when he 
came back from Africa he made an address: "Some Ob- 
servations on Pneumonia in South Africa," in a most in- 
formal, confraternal spirit, reviving also his recollections 
of old Bellevue days when, in 1879-80, he was house sur- 
geon on the Second (now the first) Division; he held any- 
thing of Bellevue always in the deepest regard. Many 
honors came to General Gorgas and he was a man who 
could bear them well, there was nothing mean nor petty 
about him, he was always approachable; it was said of 
him that he was hard only on mosquitoes. His place though 
was in the field, not in the swivel-chair. 

In the spring of 1920 General Gorgas set out to look 
into the conditions on the West African coast, another 
stronghold of yellow fever. Arriving in Europe he went 
first to the continent. He came back to London, and on 
the very next day, May 30th, he had an apoplectic stroke 
causing left-sided paralysis. He was removed to Queen 
Alexandra Hospital. He improved to the degree that there 
was hope in the minds of his British and American friends 
that he might yet return home. He had with him his wife 
and his friend Brigadier General Noble and other Amer- 
ican officers, and he was under the immediate care of Colonel 
Kennedy of the British Army Medical Corps. At the end

of a month, however, he sank rapidly into unconsciousness 
and died on the Fourth of July. 

Full homage was paid to the memory of General Gorgas 
by the British in funeral services at St. Paul's Cathedral 
with military pomp. There were representatives of King 
George and of Queen Alexandra, of the governments of 
Belgium, Panama, Cuba, Canada, South Africa, Australia, 
New Zealand, and Serbia. In June King George made 
him a K.C.M.G He had the Buchanan Medal from the 
Royal Society, the Mary Kingsley Medal from the Liver- 
pool School of Tropical Medicine, the Gold Medal from 
the American Museum of Safety and the American D.S.M. 
His honorary degrees were the Sc.D. from Oxford, Penn- 
sylvania, the University of the South (his alma mater), 
Harvard, Brown and Jefferson Medical College and the 
LL.D., from Alabama, Tulane and New York University. 

William Crawford Gorgas was born in Mobile on Oc- 
tober 3, 1854, the son of General Josiah Gorgas, a graduate 
of West Point and Chief of Ordnance in the Confederate 
Army, and after the war, president of the University of 
the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, and Amelia (Gayle) Gor- 
gas, a descendant of a former governor of Alabama. He 
married in 1885 Miss Marie Cook Doughty of Cincinnati, 
who, with his daughter, Mrs. W. D. Wrightson, survives 
him. He died at the age of sixty-five years; his remains 
were brought to this country and lie buried in Arlington 
Cemetery, his grave being near to that of Major Reed. 

A memorial to General Gorgas in commemoration of his 
services to the world is to be erected at Panama City. It is 
to be called The Gorgas Memorial Institute of Tropical 
and Preventive Medicine. The site, the building and all 
equipment is a gift to the United States by President Porras 
and the Republic of Panama.

1st Avenue and 26th Street, 
New York City, U.S.A. 
Gentlemen : 

Announcement is made herewith of the death of Dr. John B. 
Voor, at Warsaw, Poland, on February 14, 1922. The enclosed 
statement is furnished you from records in our files in order to 
complete any obituary notice which you may think desirable. 

Very truly yours, 

A. C. Burnham, M.D. 

Medical Director. 

"Dr. John B. Voor died ... of typhus fever on the fifteenth 
day of the disease. The disease was contracted at a refugee camp 
at Baranowicze while on an inspection trip for the American Red 
Cross. . . . He served with the American Red Cross in Serbia 
during 1919 through the typhus epidemic there in April and May; 
was in charge of the hospital at Chupriji, Serbia, from May, 1919, 
until February, 1920. He served with the American Red Cross 
in Poland from February, 1921, until his death." 

Doctor Voor was appointed on the Second Division, 
December 1, 1913, to complete an unexpired term and 
served as pathological interne till July, 1914 and surgical 
junior for six months subsequently. He was a graduate 
of the medical department of the University of Louisville 
of 1913. Just after leaving Bellevue on January 1, 1915, 
he made a trip as surgeon on the steamer "Memphis" with

cotton for Bremen. He returned in about two months and 
began practice in Louisville. 

In 1917 he joined Hospital Unit D (University Hospital, 
Louisville), as Captain, M.C., trained at Fort McPherson, 
Atlanta and went to France from Camp Merritt. This 
unit was sent to Vichy in June and became part of that 
hospital centre; here he met many who had known him 
at Bellevue. At the time he received his discharge from 
the army, January, 1919, he was stationed at Red Cross 
Hospital 2 in Paris. He then enlisted in the Red Cross 
and was sent to Serbia as above stated. 

He received the medal of the Serbian Red Cross and 
the Order of St. Sava. In the fall of 1920 he came home 
on a visit of about six weeks and then went back and to 
Poland. 

Captain Voor was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on 
April 18, 1890, and was the third son of six children of 
Herman Voor, v/ho was from Westphalia, Germany, and 
Anna M. (Koetter) Voor, born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He 
was educated at St. Vincent de Paul parochial school and 
St. Xavier College. His parents and two brothers survive 
him — an elder, William H. Voor, of 633 East Oak Street, 
Louisville and a younger, Bernard H. Voor. 

The following is an extract from a report of the League 
of Nations on the health situation in eastern Europe, 
quoted in the British Medical Journal of March 25, 1922, 
of the people repatriated through Baranowicze: "In the 
first week of December, of the 540 who arrived at the 
station, all had to be admitted to the hospital; 179 of 
them died — 120 of them died in the hospital and 59 of 
them were brought in dead. Of the 400 members of the 
personnel, 114 at present (January, 1922) are down with 
typhus. . . ." 

This gives some conception of the conditions at the 
time and under which Captain Voor lost his life.

JANE ARMINDA DELANO 

Director-General of the Department of Nursing 
American Red Cross. 

Distinguished Service Medal. 

Died at Savenay, Loire-Inferieure, April 15, 1919. 

During the Civil War there died at New Orleans of a 
camp fever a soldier who left a widow and a little daugh- 
ter. This daughter, years afterward, like her father, laid 
down her life also in the service of her country. 

To tell of the work of the nurses in the world war, to 
describe the foresight and wisdom of forming the corps, 
the enormous labor involved in organizing it, the care 
taken in selecting the personnel — to do this would be to 
set forth the service of this daughter; her imagination, judg- 
ment, energy and personal magnetism built up the depart- 
ment of nursing till it was able to fulfil its purpose as a 
service of the first importance in the work of relief. It 
was due to Miss Delano and those who worked under her, 
that when this country did finally go to war, there were 
on the Red Cross roll eight thousand fully^-trained nurses 
ready, and when the war ended, over ten thousand more. 

Miss Delano began this great work in 1912 when she took 
charge of the department of nursing in the American Red 
Cross a few years after the Red Cross had been reorganized 
on a national basis. She was then in her fifty-third year 
and had just resigned the office of Superintendent of the 
United States Army Nurse Corps, a place which she had 
filled for three years and which had taken her out to 
Hawaii, to the Philippines and to China. This achieve- 
ment places Miss Delano in the first rank; it was the 
culminating work of her life.

Miss Delano began her career by pioneer work in the 
field. Two years after finishing her training as head nurse 
of old Ward 16 of the Third Surgical Division, she volun- 
teered and braved the yellow fever epidemic at Jackson- 
ville, Florida, and after this was ended, in 1889, she under- 
took a formidable job at a mining camp in the Territory 
of Arizona, near the Mexican border. In an article in 
"The Red Cross Courier"* Miss Noyes says that Miss Delano 
lived there in "a two-room tin shack . . . Her only 
means of locomotion was a Pinto pony; her sole escort, 

. . an army revolver." 

It was these experiences, no doubt, that first brought 
to Miss Delano's mind the idea which she finally put into 
concrete form in 1916. In that year when the country 
was making ready for war, Miss Delano made her will. 
She bequeathed to the American Red Cross the sum of 
twenty-five thousand dollars, the income from which, to- 
gether with the royalties from the book, "Home Hygiene 
and Care of the Sick," she devised for the establishment 
and maintenance of public health nursing services in re- 
mote or out-of-the-way settlements that are too poor and 
too unprogressive to begin such a thing for themselves. 
She laid down the conditions that should govern the selec- 
tion of the communities and what she thought the qualifi- 
cations of the nurses should be. Miss Noyes says that 
the amount from the sale of the book will be much greater 
than Miss Delano thought it would be, for the book is 
the recognized authority on this subject and is about to 
go into a third edition, so that there will be funds enough 
for three or four Delano Red Cross nurses. This far- 
sighted philanthropy Miss Delano designed as a memorial 
to her father and mother. 

In person, Miss Delano was tall, of dignified bearing, 
gentle and affable in manner; able, resolute and self-reliant, 
she put strength and steadiness in others. Whenever any 
group of nurses was to leave for Europe, and her work

permitted, Miss Delano came over from Washington to 
bid them good-bye. Finally she went herself. 

On January 2, 1919, she sailed for France for the pur- 
pose of making a personal survey of the nursing situation 
in that country, in Italy and in the Balkans. In France 
however, before the end of January, Miss Delano fell sick 
of an ear infection which perforated the ear-drum, and 
she was treated for this at A. R. C. Hospital 101 in Neuilly. 
In a short time she resumed her tour of inspection, saying 
"I must go on with my work." But mastoiditis developing, 
she was operated on at Savenay on February 21st, and 
a second time three days afterward; to little effect, how- 
ever, though she seemingly improved, for by March 23rd 
the diagnosis was made of deep-seated abscess of the brain 
and the patient had to submit to the ordeal of operation 
a third time and on April 12th still a fourth time. 

Miss Delano, the chief of American nurses, died in Base 
Hospital 69 at Savenay, on April 15, 1919. A devoted 
daughter of Bellevue, she added lustre to Bellevue's old 
renown. 

She was an alumna of the class of 1886 at the Bellevue 
Training School. Miss Delano had been superintendent of 
the training school in the Hospital of the University of 
Pennsylvania for five years when in May, 1902, she came 
back to Bellevue as general superintendent of nurses, which 
onerous position she filled till October, 1906. She was 
three times elected president of the American Nurses' Asso- 
ciation and was once a director of the American Journal 
of Nursing. 

Miss Delano's father was George Delano, the only child 
of the Reverend Daniel Delano; her mother was Mary 
(Right) Delano of Albion, New York. She was born in 
the home of her grandfather, near the village of Townsend 
in Schuyller County, New York, in March, 1858. When 
she was three years old her father went to war. He reached 
the grade of first lieutenant and shortly after this he died 
of yellow fever. Though Miss Delano had no recollec- 
tion of having seen her father, she had idealized in her 

44 



lane #rmin&a SDelano 

memory the event and circumstance of his death; this had 
ever a strong influence upon her life; she carried his pic- 
ture always about with her. Miss Delano could ask for 
no greater glory than to die as her father died — in her 
country's service. 

Miss Delano's body was brought to this country in Sep- 
tember, 1919, and on the 18th of the month was interred 
in Arlington Cemetery with full military honors. 

The Jane A. Delano Post No. 344 of the American Legion 
was organized in this city in July, 1919. The honor of 
being first commander was given Miss Beatrice Bamber, 
who was chief nurse of the Bellevue unit. The Post meets 
monthly at the Central Club for Nurses. 

Citation — posthumous : 

"By direction of the President and under the provisions 
of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918, the distin- 
guished service medal was awarded posthumously to Miss 
Jane A. Delano for exceptionally meritorious and conspicu- 
ous service as Director, Department of Nursing, American 
Red Cross. She applied her great energy and used her 
powerful influence among the nurses of the country to se- 
cure enrollments in the American Red Cross. Through 
her great efforts and devotion to duty eighteen thousand 
seven hundred and thirty-two nurses were secured and 
transferred to the Army Nurse Corps for service during 
the war. Thus she was a great factor in assisting the 
Medical Department in caring for the sick and wounded." 

Distinguished Service Medal.

CARRIE JANE BRINK 

General Superintendent of Training Schools, 
Bellevue Hospital. 

Died in New York, December 10, 1920. 

When the Bellevue Hospital Unit of the American Red 
Cross was forming in 1916, Miss Brink was the one person 
to choose the nursing staff — to get together the equipment 
and paraphernalia; these things fell largely in her sphere 
and every one naturally looked to her to perform the task 
without any doubt of the result. And justly — she was well 
fitted for it, her twenty-five years of residence in Bellevue 
as pupil, teacher and supervisor gave her a knowledge of 
Bellevue graduates that few others possessed; her ideals, 
her standards of nursing, her high regard for the honor of 
Bellevue and her affection for the hospital were guaranties; 
she held fast to the tenet that watchfulness is the essence 
of nursing — to keep watch and ward would be her motto. 

The task was to bring sixty-five nurses together who would 
live in harmony and work together under one appointed 
chief nurse; to obtain for each certifications of prophylactic 
inoculations; to secure a passport for each; to arrange 
for the oath of allegiance; and this over and over again, 
for some withdrew before the unit was completed to take 
other positions in the service. The task was done, the 
nurses went to France and no small part of their success, 
both as individuals and as a unit is due to the discriminating 
judgment of Miss Brink and their personal loyalty to her 
and to one another. 

Miss Brink was the good right arm of each of the gen- 
eral superintendents of nurses to whom she was coadjutor.

She spent herself in the interests of the school and the 
hospital. During the last six years, especially, the work 
was extraordinarily heavy; the opening of the two new 
surgical pavilions and the transfer of patients from the 
old wards to the new was no small business in itself; then 
came the disorganization of the nursing service due to 
the war, the epidemic of infantile paralysis and finally, 
after this the fearful experience with influenza. All this 
told heavily on Miss Brink. 

Miss Brink had suffered two attacks of acute phlebitis 
in veins of her leg and was barely recovered from the last 
one when, on December 10, 1920, while on her way over 
from her morning's work she fell in syncope in the entrance- 
hall of the residence and expired as she was taken to her 
room. She was fifty-one years of age. 

Carrie J. Brink, twenty-two years old, came fresh from 
teaching school to Bellevue in 1891 and was graduated 
two years later. She was born in Binghamton, New York, 
in 1869. She became one of the staff of instructors in the 
Bellevue Training School and in 1898 Assistant Superin- 
tendent and General Superintendent of the Training Schools 
of the Department in 1920. 

Miss Brink is survived by a brother and several sisters; 
her niece, Miss Dennis, graduated at the Cornell Medical 
School in 1906, married Dr. John H. Schall of Brooklyn, 
and she is now in practice in that borough.

EVA EMMONS 

American Red Cross, 

Women's Overseas Hospital. 

Died in Labouheyre, Landes, France, in November, 1918. 

When the war first broke out Miss Emmons volunteered 
for service with the Red Cross and from April 15, 1915, till 
January 16, 1916, she served in Belgium with American 
Red Cross Unit 1. Afterward she went to Paris and volun- 
teered her services at a hospital there returning home after 
about a year for rest. 

On July 10, 1918, she was assigned by the Red Cross 
to U. S. General Hospital 1 in New York but "did not 
execute orders as she was on duty in a hospital in New 
York which was caring for wounded and sick officers under 
government supervision. Nurse did not notify Red Cross 
when she went abroad." This was not uncharacteristic 
of Miss Emmons: she had several singularities. She was 
a competent nurse nevertheless; she was night superin- 
tendent of nurses at Bellevue from July, 1910 to May, 1911, 
when she resigned. When the war first broke out she 
was quick to respond; she had valuable services to give 
and she gave them — more than that, she gave her life. 

Without notifying Red Cross Miss Emmons left this 
hospital in New York to go with the Women's Overseas 
Hospital. The next that was heard of her, Miss Noyes 
writes, is from a newspaper clipping received at Head- 
quarters in November, 1918, announcing the death of Miss 
Emmons from influenza at the Refugee Unit at Labouheyre. 

Eva Emmons was born in Beason, Logan County, Illinois, 
on November 28, 1885. We have been unable to trace 
Miss Emmons's family. She was graduated in the class 
of 1910 at Bellevue Training School.

GRACE McBRIDE 



GRACE McBRIDE 

Superintendent Warren Memorial Hospital, 
Hwang Hien, Shantung, 

American Red Cross Hospital, Tiumen, Siberia. 

Died in Tiumen, West Siberia, December 23, 1918. 

Miss McBride was graduated at the Bellevue Hospital 
Training School, completing the full course in 1911. She 
was already a graduate of a Philadelphia training school 
and had spent a time in private nursing but she wanted 
above all a Bellevue diploma. After leaving Bellevue she 
took the superintendency of a private hospital in Chatta- 
nooga and it was while she was there that she decided to 
devote herself thereafter to mission work. With this end 
in view she went for special training to the Baptist Mission 
School in Louisville, Kentucky. Anyone who knew Miss 
McBride at Bellevue would say that she was pretty well 
qualified when the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern 
Baptist Convention decided to send her to China, She 
left her native land on the China Mail steamer March 16, 
1916. After some months at the hospital in Hwang Hien 
where she had charge of the women's work, she went to 
the Language School in Peking, and in the spring of 1917 
returned to her work in the hospital at Hwang Hien. 

But things soon were quite different — the great war in 
the Far West was coming nearer and nearer; Russian 
revolutions, a Czecho-Slovakian army pushing westward on 
the Siberian railway, the American Red Cross organizing 
a great base in Vladivostok, Grace McBride's own country 
in the fighting, at last, her brothers in the camps — she had 
a hard struggle with herself which she ended by offering 
herself to the Red Cross. Accepted by wire she left Hwang 
Hien and sailed with a party of nurses and doctors from 

49 



CBzate S^cBrifc* 

Shanghai on September 20, 1918, for Vladivostok, arriving 
there four days later. A Red Cross sanitary train, a fully 
equipped hospital, was making ready to cross Siberia for 
an unknown destination. It began its perilous journey on 
September 29th and Miss McBride was placed in charge 
of the mess on the train. In a month they arrived at 
Tiumen, a river town about two hundred miles east of 
Ekaterinburg, that place of evil memory. Here they were 
to stay and for four days they lived aboard the train. 

On November 4th the Tiumen Hospital, A.R.C., was 
opened and Miss McBride was assigned to the operating 
room; on December 3rd she became night supervisor. Ten 
days of this and she reported on the sick-list with typhus 
fever and in a week and a half, this stout-hearted woman 
passed away, on December 23, 1918, aged thirty-three years. 
She is buried in Tiumen. She had intended to return to 
Hwang Hien but she finished her work in Tiumen. 

"When she knew her time was short," her mother writes, 
"she told one of the nurses 'I am not going to get well 
and will go soon; I am ready — I am not afraid to die.' All 
through her life she was always ready ... no doubt 
in answer to her prayers the Red Cross gave the hospital 
(at Hwang Hien) four thousand dollars of supplies in her 
memory; they have made the hospital larger." 

Grace McBride was born in Richland County, Ohio, on 
December 11, 1885, the fifth child of the late Washington 
McBride of that county and Mary A. (Au) McBride of 
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. She had six brothers 
and three sisters; also two half-brothers and two half-sisters. 
One half-brother, Doctor Franklin E. McBride, was a 
graduate of Rush Medical College, Chicago; he died of 
typhus in Kalgan, China, in 1890, a medical missionary. 

Mrs. McBride's address is: Mrs. Mary A. McBride, 
R.F.D. 4, Mansfield, Ohio.

KATHLEEN' ELIZABETH SYMMES 



KATHLEEN ELIZABETH SYMMES 

American Red Cross, Group D, A.E.F. 

Died in Southampton, England, October 4, 1918. 

Miss Symmes completed the full course of two years and 
nine months at the Bellevue Training School for Nurses 
and was graduated with the class of 1913. She enlisted 
in the Red Cross in 1918, was assigned to duty as 
Reserve on May 30th and ordered to U. S. General Hos- 
pital 1, New York City. She was on duty there until Sep- 
tember 14th when she was transferred for foreign service 
and sent oversea with Group D, American Expeditionary 
Forces. Miss Symmes began the voyage as a nurse — she 
arrived a patient with influenza and her life closed in 
hospital in Southampton on October 4, 1918; she was 
buried at Winchester, England. 

After graduating, Miss Symmes did private nursing in 
and about New York until 1916 when she was obliged to 
go home to take care of her father who had suffered a 
paralysis. She remained at home for two years, longing 
all the while to do something to help win the war, little 
dreaming that she would die before her father and in the 
line of duty. During the four months here before sailing 
she wrote home but seldom and not at all about her ex- 
perience as an army nurse. 

Born in Aylmer, Quebec, on December 23, 1889, Kathleen 
Elizabeth Symmes was in her thirtieth year. Her parents 
are still living in Aylmer; her father, Mr. Tiberius Wright 
Symmes was born there while her mother, Lila (Ritchie) 
Symmes is from Ottawa. She had two brothers and one 
sister; one brother, Doctor C. R. Symmes, graduated in 
medicine at the Queens University, Kingston, is in practice 
at Port Moody, British Columbia; the other is H. T. Sym- 
mes, and her sister is Mrs. Janet Lois O'Halloran. Her edu- 
cation was received first at Aylmer, then at Westmount 
Academy in Montreal.

THE BELLEVUE UNIT 



THE BELLEVUE UNIT. 

Base Hospital 1, A E.F. 

Vichy, France. 

At the time of the Armistice there were one hundred 
and fifty-three American base hospitals in England, France 
and Italy, one hundred and twenty-two camp hospitals in 
England, France and Belgium and thirty-eight evacuation 
hospitals in France and Germany. Many Bellevue men 
were attached to these organizations at one time or another. 

The first fifty of the base hospitals were organized by 
the American Red Cross; they were numbered from one 
to fifty and were taken over by the War Department before 
they left the United States a part of the American Ex- 
peditionary Forces. 

When this base hospital plan was broached in 1916 
there was some misapprehension concerning it. For one 
thing, it was rumored that these units might be the only 
organizations to see service when the United States went 
into the war. As it turned out this was really an advantage 
to the Bellevue unit because it brought to it a body of 
resolute, high-class, well-educated young men who enlisted 
as privates and signed up with the unit to serve as corps- 
men. They were eager and anxious for service at the 
front but they stuck loyally to the unit nevertheless, did 
all kinds of menial labor at Vichy and they took a large 
part in the successful work of the unit; it was not the 
kind of service they had been looking for or expected, but 
they kept nobly at it till the end — one hundred and fifty- 
three first class enlisted soldiers. 

Base Hospital 1 represented Bellevue Hospital specially 
in France and was widely known as the Bellevue Unit. It 

54 



<H%t Bellebu* WLnit 

had been organized and equipped at Bellevue, there was 
a larger number of Bellevue men on this than on any 
other unit and the entire nursing staff was composed of 
Bellevue nurses. 

The recruiting of the medical and surgical staff of 
the unit and of the enlisted men was begun by Doctor 
George D. Stewart, and when he was compelled to with- 
draw because of disability it was continued under the di- 
rection of Doctor Edward L. Keyes, Jr., he taking the place 
of Doctor Stewart as Surgical Director; after several 
months, Doctor Keyes and Doctor George B. Wallace, 
Medical Director, were ordered to Fort Benjamin Harrison. 
Doctor Keyes did not return to the unit, so that the work 
of organization was continued under Doctor Wallace as 
chief. 

The medical and surgical personnel when completed was 
constituted as follows: 

Majors 
George B. Wallace John C. McCoy 

Captains 
R. Travis Atkins William W. Maver 

Carl G. Burdick James F. Nagle 

Harrison S. Martland Arthur M. Wright 

John Wyckoff

Five of the above-named medical officers had not been 
connected with Bellevue Hospital before, namely, Major 
McCoy, Captains Martland and Maver and Lieutenants 
Darlington and Weeks; Lieutenants Finnegan and Heffern 
were on the dental staff at Bellevue, 

Major John Charles McCoy graduated in medicine at 
Columbia in 1892 and he was and is still, in the practice 
of surgery in Paterson, New Jersey and Visiting Surgeon 
to the Paterson General Hospital. He remained with the 
unit for about three weeks in France when he was ordered 
to another hospital. 

Captain Harrison Stanford Martland is pathologist to 
the Newark City Hospital and he served with the unit in 
that capacity; he also is a graduate of Columbia in the 
class of 1905. Captain Martland remained with the unit 
till the muster-out. 

Captain William Wallace Maver, a graduate in 1909 
of Long Island College Hospital, joined the unit from 
Jersey City where he was in the practice of radiology. He 
was ordered to active service in June, 1917, to the Army 
School of Roentgenology at Cornell Medical College till 
December. He was radiologist to the unit in Vichy during 
the entire service oversea. 

Lieutenant Webb William Weeks, M.D., Columbia, 1912, 
while at Vichy in September, 1918, was ordered on de- 
tached service with Operating Team 42 under Captain 
Burdick, and at the end of October to the American Hos- 
pital at Paris for three months; promoted to be major in 
February, 1919. 

Lieutenant Charles Goodliffe Darlington graduated at the 
Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia in 1915. He 
was on detached service with the Motor Mechanics service 
at Nevers, France, during April and May, 1918, returned 
to Vichy in June as assistant pathologist to Captain Mart- 
land; promoted to a captaincy in February, 1919. 

All other members of Base Hospital 1 were either on the 
visiting staff at Bellevue or had been internes there.

Major George Barclay Wallace is Assistant Visiting 
Physician on the Third Division and Professor of Phar- 
macology in the New York University. He already had 
had army experience. Graduating in medicine at Ann Ar- 
bor, Michigan, in 1897, he was appointed assistant to Pro- 
fessor A. R. Cushny and instructor in pharmacology in the 
University of Michigan. In 1900 he volunteered his services 
to go to the Philippines and he served one year in the 
islands as surgeon with the 42nd U. S. Infantry during the 
Insurrection. Major Wallace was chief of the medical 
service of Base Hospital 1 until August, 1918, when he 
was transferred to Base Hospital 66 at Neufchateau. 

Captain Arthur Mullin Wright is a graduate of Cornell 
Medical College of 1905 and served as interne in St. Vin- 
cent's Hospital, and in 1917 was Assistant Visiting Surgeon 
on the Third Division of Bellevue. On August 1 he was 
ordered to active service at the Rockefeller Institute in 
New York, thence to Fort Oglethorpe and on September 15th 
to the University of Pennsylvania for a course in neurolog- 
ical surgery. A few days after arriving at Vichy he was 
ordered to the French Evacuation Hospital at Annel and 
on April 1, to the one at Pont Ste. Maxence till June 1st; 
promoted major in April, 1918; to U. S. Military Hospital 
at Neuilly, June 1 and June 6, to Evacuation Hospital

Pont Rousseau March 5, Nice April 3; promotions: Captain, 
Major. 

The other members of the unit are recorded in the Roll 
of Members on page 173 and those which follow. 

In two respects the unit did not quite live up to its name 
of Number One; it was not the first one organized nor was 
it the first to cross the ocean.* But however that may be, 
its right or title to be in the first class derives in part 
from the character and work of the nurses. Trained in 
dealing with things on a large scale and with emergencies, 
chosen by one who knew her business, Miss Brink, they 
justified her and themselves.

Division in 1914-1915, who joined in this capacity but 
who was given charge of a ward later on; Miss Lehman, 
secretary to Major Wallace, Miss Taylor, who acted as 
interpreter, Miss McCoy, clerk in the X-Ray Department 
and Miss Blaisdell.* 

Mrs. E. H Harriman made a gift to the unit of twenty-five 
thousand dollars for the purchase of equipment; this had 
to be supplemented for these units were expensive affairs. 
The Red Cross bases averaged three times this amount and 
the Bellevue unit cost nearly one hundred thousand dol- 
lars; it had a fine equipment; most of the cost was sub- 
scribed by private donations and the balance by Red Cross. 

All was ready in the winter of 1917 and on February 
23, 1918, the unit embarked on the "Olympic" for oversea 
service. There were two other hospital units on the ship, 



•To make the record complete : the quartermaster was Captain C M. Brune, 
U.S.R., the Chaplain. Captain W. L. Wood. A.R.C, and two members of the 
U. S. Sanitary Corps: Lieutenants, R. E. Hare. U.S.A.. who was adjutant, and

a regiment of engineers and a large force of aviation troops; 
in all about seven thousand. 

The hospital people had their work cut out for them for 
measles and mumps and influenza and pneumonia developed 
promptly and there was something to do during the eleven 
days of the voyage to Liverpool. 

The unit arrived at Havre, via Southampton, on March 
10th and on the night of March 12th at Vichy. 

Base Hospital 1 was the first at Vichy and they organized 
the Vichy hospital centre, and had all the work there to 
do till the next unit arrived in June, B. H. 19 from Roches- 
ter, New York. The first patients, 252 French wounded, 
arrived on April 9th and two days later 358 American 
wounded. 

Eventually the Vichy Hospital Centre comprised Base 
Hospitals 1, 19, 76, 109 and 115 and the auxiliary, Hos- 
pital Unit D from Louisville; twenty-one hotels were taken 
over and other buildings, and at one time had nearly six 
thousand beds. Like the other base units B. H. 1 was or- 
ganized on a basis of five hundred beds but when it got 
to France it, again like most if not all of the others, had 
twice as many and more to take care of. It functioned 
throughout the service as a general base hospital. The 
only base hospital that was organized as a special hospital 
before it left the United States was B. H. 117, a psychiatric 
unit, but many were specialized after they got to France. 

Base hospitals numbered from 51 upward were organized 
by the National Army; those with numbers above 200 by 
the N. A. in France. The Red Cross organized some 
hospitals in France and some of these were taken over 
by the army. Besides these there were Red Cross units 
organized at smaller hospitals in this country which were 
denoted by letters, and these were amalgamated with other 
organizations after they reached the other side; such, for 
instance, were Unit B of Yonkers, Unit D of Louisville, 
Unit F of Harlem, and so on. 

There was one death in the personnel of the unit, Sergeant 
Louis D. Short, the pharmacist, who died of pneumonia

on February 17, 1919. The total number of cases cared 
for by the Bellevue Unit from April 9, 1918 till January 
20, 1919, was 756 of the Allied forces and 15,321 of the 
American. 

The unit left Vichy for home on March 5, 1919.

OBITUARY 



In the course of twenty-nine years down to 1915, the 
losses by death were ninety-nine, not including Assistant 
Surgeons Gibbs and Lazear in the Cuban campaign. Had 
the same rate prevailed during the seven years just past, 
the deaths should have been twenty-four — there were 
thirty-seven, besides those caused directly by the war. 

The average age in the first period was fifty-five years; 
the youngest was twenty-five and the oldest ninety-three 
years. In the second period the average age was sixty- 
one; the youngest thirty-five, the oldest eighty-eight. 

Set this down to the war — to the power of the Four 
Horsemen. Many a heart kept the home fires burning 
and upheld the standards of the Unknown Warrior; suf- 
fered with him; proud of his honor and his glory, yet 
unnumbered with him in the terrible toll of War.

WILLIAM OSLER 
From a photograph in the library of the New York Academy of Medicine 



Sir WILLIAM OSLER, Bt., F.R.S., F.R.C.P. 
Regius Professor of Medicine, University of Oxford. 

Doctor Osier was elected to honorary membership in the Society 
of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital thirty-three years ago when he 
delivered the Annual Address before the Society at the New York 
Academy of Medicine in 1889. He was at that time about to resign 
from the professorship of clinical medicine in the University of 
Pennsylvania to take the chair of the Principles and Practice of 
Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. 

Aside from tuberculosis, two of the important subjects in clinical 
pathology and medicine at that time were: first, the work by Metch- 
nikoff on the amoeboid cells of the body and his theory that through 
these cells by a process which he called phagocytosis, the animal 
body protected itself against bacterial infection or because of its 
failure, succumbed, and second, the discovery by Laveran in 1880 
of the cause of malaria, a discovery which Dr. Osier had only recently 
convinced himself was true, for, as he says in this lecture, up to 
1886 "I was among those who looked upon the work of Laveran 
with extreme incredulity." This lecture* on "Phagocytes," is a 
critical resume of this theory of Metchnikoff applied to bacterial 
infections and an exposition of its failure to meet the facts of malaria. 
Professor Osier concluded: "while it (phagocytosis) undoubtedly 
plays a most important part in many pathological conditions, the 
question of an active destructive warfare waged by the body cells 
against the micro-organisms of disease must still be considered an 
open one." 

Professor Osier was forty years of age in that year; three years 
more elapsed before the first edition of his great book appeared, 
the "Text Book of Medicine," in 1902. Doctor Thomas McCrae, 
in the preface to the last edition, that of 1920, says: "It is a grim 
coincidence that at the time of my association as assistant author 
in 1912 he planned to give up active participation in the revision 
when he reached seventy years of age." 

Dr. Osier was the sixth son of the Reverend Featherstonei Lake 
Osier and Ellen (Free) Osier and was born at Bond Head, Ontario, 
on July 12, 1849. As to his early education: up to 1870 he attended 
school and Trinity College, Toronto, and in 1872 was graduated 
in medicine from McGill University where in 1874, after studying 

65 



S>tt Cfiitlliam £>0lec, Bt. 

in Europe, he began his teaching career in the chair of the Institutes 
of Medicine, leaving there ten years later to go to Philadelphia. 

He was married in 1892 to Miss Grace Revere, the eldest daugh- 
ter of John Revere and the great grand-daughter of Paul Revere. 
They had one child, a son; this son died in France in 1917, aged 
twenty-one, from wounds received in battle. 

Sir William Osier was made a baronet at the time of the 
coronation of King George V; some of his many honors were the 
Sc.D. from Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, Liverpool, and Leeds, that 
of LL.D. from McGill, Toronto, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Yale, Harvard 
and Johns Hopkins and D.C.L. from Durham, Trinity and Toronto. 

He died at his residence, Norham Gardens, Oxford, on December 
29, 1919; he was nearly six months over seventy years of age. 
Bronchitis and pneumonia of an ill-defined type which began with 
a chill three months before, failed to clear up and resulted in 
empyema, necessitating an operation a few days before Christmas; 
following this the patient improved a little but the end came 
suddenly. 

Doctor Harvey Cushing has been requested by Lady Osier to 
write a biography of her husband; he is now engaged upon this 
work and desires anyone who possesses any authentic notes or 
letters of Professor Osier to communicate with him at the Peter 
Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston. 

A remarkable incident is recorded of Doctor Osier by his friend, 
Professor Arthur Thomson of Oxford in the obituary in the British 
Medical Journal, that in the autumn of the year of his death while 
on a holiday in the Channel Islands he indulged himself in "all 
sorts of acrobatic performances, such as standing on his head and 
turning cartwheels on the sands"!

fessor Alfred L. Loomis in his private classes. He was also Assistant Visiting 
Physician and Surgeon at the Woman's Hospital under Dr. T. Gaillard Thomas, 
who was himself an alumnus of Bellevue of the House Staff of 1853. He 
served here till 1879. In March of this year Dr. Polk resigned the chair

a young, active and efficient man to help him in his large and exacting practice, 
he took Smith into partnership. This was the beginning of private work that 
made great demands on his time and made difficult, often, the performance of his 
hospital and college duties; but as time went on and his work in each field in- 
creased, he gave more and more attention to the college work. He was a very 
successful practitioner of medicine. He had a charm of person and of manner 
that attracted; he had a ready insight into character and qualities that endeared 
him to patients and to students alike. 

For a long while and up to the time of his death, Doctor Smith was very 
active in the executive counsels of the hospital and in the Academy of Medicine; 
he was one of the Trustees of the Academy for ten years. He was a fellow of

GEORGE WILLIAM THOMSON 

George William Thomson was of Scottish parentage. His father, the Reverend 
Adam Thomson. wa9 of Glasgow, a lawyer and clever scholar who prepared for the 
ministry and, his health demanding residence in a warmer climate, was ordained 
and went out to Jamaica. British West Indies, as a missionary of the Scotch Kirk. 
There, at The Manse in Montego Bay, a town on the northwest coast of Jamaica, 
on July 3, 1867, George William was born. When he was twelve years old he was 
eent to England to be educated at the School for the Sons of Missionaries in 
Blackheath, London. He studied there for six years and was graduated in 188+. 
After spending a few months at London University he returned the next year to 
Montego Bay. 

In 1889 Mr. Thomson came to New York to study medicine at the Bellevue 
Medical College and in 1892 he received his degree and an appointment on the 
Third Medical Division; he wa9 House Physician from April till October, 1893. 
Then he returned to Montego Bay to begin active practice and he became one 
of the best known of practitioners of western Jamaica, keeping well up with the 
time9 and coming not infrequently to New York, for he had many friends here. 

When the great war started he would be off to the front and he was deeply 
disappointed when they would not let him go, they giving as a reason that his 
American diplomas were not sufficient and, besides, was he not already in gov- 
ernment service, having been District Medical Officer for four years? — he was 
needed more at home. Doctor Thomson was a man of high ideals and of decided 
strength of character and the war stirred him greatly, nevertheless he must needs 
be content — no easy matter. They made him Captain and Surgeon in the Jamaica 
Reserve Regiment. 

Influenza reached Jamaica in October, 1918, with paralyzing force and very 
soon the D. M. 0. of Montego Bay, Doctor Thomson, was stricken down. After 
two or three days he died on October 16th, aged fifty-one years. He was buried 
with military honors. 

Doctor Thomson was married in Jamaica in 1897; his widow is a graduate of 
the training school of Royal Southern Hospital, Liverpool, England. They had 
no children; he left his widow, five brothers and six sisters, one of whom died 
in 1919.

became professor of clinical medicine in 1906. He was a good teacher and among 
those whom he had taught he had many friends in after years. He was a good 
diagnostician too. Strange to say. he was seldom able at the bedside to palpate 
the spleen; he once was heard to say: "the spleen was not enlarged, at least,, I 
couldn't feel it — even my house physician couldn't and he can feel things that I 
can't feel." 

Doctor Jackson had many agreeable qualities but it would he wrong to say that 
tact was one of these. And he had an awkwardness of manner both iu gait and 
•peech that subjected him to the irreverent though it added much to his pleas- 

75

antrie9. Very often te9ty, he would yet go to exaggerated lengths to make amends.

ROBERT COLEMAN JAMES 

M.D.. New York University, 1893, House Physician on the Second Division 
from April till October. 1895. 

The start of Doctor James's teaching career was made as Instructor in Medicine 
in New York University. In 1898 he was appointed Adjunct Professor of Obstetrics 
and it was in this position that his exceptional talent as a teacher was fully 
exercised. 

Doctor James had been Assistant Attending Physician at the New York Lying-in 
Hospital for several years when, in 1905. he was appointed Assistant Visiting Ob- 
stetrician to Bellevue Hospital. During his service here the obstetrical department 
was moved to the new A and B Pavilions and the old Emergency Hospital was 
closed. This was in 1908. In 1911 the Emergency was re-opened as a School 
for Midwives and shortly afterward an Out-Door Obstetrical Clinic was established. 
It was in great measure due to Doctor James's ability and unremitting zeal that 
the obstetrical service increased from fifteen to almost two hundred cases a month. 

Doctor James "was a man of extensive knowledge and broad culture in litera- 
ture, in art and in music. His love of nature was one of the charms of his 
personality and his minute knowledge of flowers and of trees, of birds and of 
animals made him a delightful out-of-door companion." (W. E. C). Nothing 
charmed him more than life out-doors. He spent many a summer on long walking 
tours in Europe. His constant companion on these trips was Doctor Chaffee, who 
had served on the house staff in Bellevue with him; these two had traveled afoot 
through the length and breadth of England and Ireland and on the continent. He 

77 



flDtutuarp 



was a man, moreover, of deep religious feeling, void of pretense, a man whose 
early training guided him throughout life. 

Doctor James was bom on a farm near Lexington, Kentucky, on November 11. 
1865, a son of Mr. John G. and Nannie (Coleman) James. His father died when 
Robert was ten years old and his mother and he moved then to the home of the 
Reverend Doctor Douglas, pastor of Pisgah Presbyterian Church. He went to school 
first in Pisgah and then to Transylvania University. On leaving the University he 
went into business, but this was for a short while only: what he really wanted 
to do was study medicine and he planned to do this and then, when he reached 
the age of fifty years, to retire from practice. In 1890, his mother having passed 
away, he came to New York with his cousin, Warren Coleman, and matriculated in 
medicine; he was then twenty-five years old. So, when in 1915 he withdrew 
from an assured position of influence and authority in his profession, he was 
only carrying out the purpose he had long set his heart upon, of returning to 
that rural life in Kentucky that he loved. 

In three years, however, what he had planned he, for a while, set aside. "In 
order to release Doctor Caldwell for active service in the army (I) came back to 
New York and took up his work . . . for the duration of the war." So he 
wrote in 1920. 

At home in October, 1920, he was taken sick with broncho-pneumonia and to 
this he succumbed. Doctor James died suddenly on November 13, 1920, when it 
was thought he had recovered. He lived two days beyond his fifty-fifth birthday. 
He never married. He is survived by his half-sister, Mrs. Phelps, who made her 
home with him in Kentucky. 

Doctor James was a member of the Southern Society, the Century Association 
and the Phi Delta Gamma and Nu Sigma Nu fraternities. He joined the Society of 
Alumni of Bellevue Hospital in 1897. 



ROBERT WILLIAMS CARTER 

A. B. Princeton, '00; M.D., Columbia, '0+; First Surgical Division, January 1, 
1907; interne, Sloane Maternity Hospital, 1907. 

Just before the end of his term at Bellevue Doctor Carter had accepted a 
commission from the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions to go as medical mis- 
sionary to the Philippines. He married in January Miss Edna S. Ferris of Mont- 
clair, and after a few months spent at the Sloane Maternity Hospital, he sailed in 
September, 1907, with Mrs. Carter for that difficult field. 

Carter came from a long line of missionaries and was imbued from youth 
with the missionary spirit. His father was the son of the Reverend Thomas Carter 
of Boonton, N. J., whose father, Robert Carter, was one of the first members of 
the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. His mother, Mrs. Hettie Dodd Carter. 
was bom in Turkey, the daughter of the Reverend Doctor Dodd of Roberts Col- 
lege, and Mrs. Lydia Dodd, missionaries in the Levant. 

Doctor and Mrs. Carter went first to Dumaguete, Oriental Negros, and in the 
Silliman Institute there he was professor of Physiology, Chemistry and Latin. The 
next year they were transferred to the town of Massin, Island of Leyte and later 
to Albay, Luzon. Here he developed sprue and after six years of hard and self-sacri- 
ficing work he came home in 1914 to his native land. His health improved and he 
opened an office at Verona, N. J., in 1915, and joined this society. In 1917 his health 
had so much improved that he prevailed upon the board of missions to send him back 
again to the Philippines. In the course of the next two years the old symptoms re- 
curred and, though he was so severely affected that he was forced to remain in bed 
twenty hours a day, he kept up his hospital work each morning until, finally they were 
compelled to give up once more and return to the United States. This was in 1919. 
He was in the Presbyterian Hospital, New York, for two months undergoing treatment 
when, in September, he succumbed. The immediate cause of his death was the 
rupture of a gangrenous vermiform appendix. 

Doctor Carter was born in Boonton, N. J., on July 15, 1878, and he died 
on November 21, 1919, aged forty-one years. He is survived by his wife, his 
mother and several brothers and sisters.

He served in the Civil War as Assistant Surgeon, U.S.A., from 1861 to 1864 
and was Surgeon-in-charge, U. S. General Hospital, Central Park, N. Y., 1863-64. 

After the war he resumed his college work as Adjunct Professor of Anatomy 
at the New York University, and in 1866 was Professor of Clinical Surgery and

Doctor Gouley was Curator to the Wood Museum, Bellevue Hospital, 1855-59, 
was appointed Visiting Surgeon in 1859 and in 1900 was made Consulting Surgeon, 
so that he "had the unique honor of serving his hospital alma mater for a period 
of sixty-seven years," * * * "His lectures proved signally interesting and in- 
structive to the student bodies. They were characterized by the cultured manner 
of his delivery, by his unfailing courtesy toward his listeners and by that perfection 
of diction and rare phraseology which always distinguished him as a writer and 
a lecturer." * * * "From his earliest membership in this society Dr. Gouley 
displayed his marked personality in its management and advancement. His erudition 
and knowledge of procedure were invaluable when it came to the framing of our 
present Constitution and By-Laws and they owe much of their orderly form and 
provisions for unforeseen contingencies to his care, acumen and zeal." 

Doctor Gouley was Visiting Surgeon to St. Vincent's Hospital 1865-68 and Con- 
sulting Surgeon from 1891 till his death. He was the author of "Diseases of the 
Urinary Organs" (1873), which subject was his special field, and of "Diseases of 
Man: Data of their Nomenclature. Classification and Genesis," (N. Y. 1888). 

He was a Fellow of the American Medical Association and an honorary mem- 
ber of the Royal Academy of Science. Havana. Cuba. 

Dr. Gouley died in Brooklyn at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lamarche, on 
April 26, 1920, aged eighty-eight years. 

At the Seventh Reunion and Banquet of this society at Delmonico's on Feb- 
ruary 4th, 1903, a loving cup was presented Doctor Gouley on behalf of the society 
by Dr. Charles Phelps, his colleague on the Fourth Division, in commemoration 
of his fifty years of service in Bellevue Hospital. 



SILAS PIERSON LEVERIDGE 

House Surgeon on the Second (now the First) Surgical Division from April till 
October, 1880. He was Senior Assistant to Doctor Gorgas. He served as Ambulance 
Surgeon for about fifteen months before entering upon his internship. He was 
graduated at the Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1879 in the same class with 
Doctor Gorgas. 

Doctor Leveridge lived and practiced medicine on East Broadway in this city 
between Gouverneur and Montgomery Streets on the same block where, on October 
31, 1855, he was born. His father. John L. Leveridge, and his grandfather, John 
W. C. Leverdige, were physicians and practiced in that part of the East Side for 
many years before him. He was therefore firmly linked with that district of 
New York. 

When he left the hospital in 1880 Doctor Leveridge was appointed Attending 
Surgeon to the New York Dispensary and Attending Physician to the Eastern 
Dispensary. He resigned the former place after five years and was advanced to 
the position of Visiting Physician at the Eastern. Resigning this place in 1888, 
he devoted himself to private practice thereafter. He waB always actively engaged, 
not only in medical and charitable work, but in political affairs as well. 

Doctor Leveridge died of pneumonia on March 16, 1921 after an illness of 
five days, and his death occurred in the same house on East Broadway in which 
he had lived for forty years. He was sixty-four years old when he died; he is 
survived by his daughter, Miss Ethel S. Leveridge. 

The war brought great sorrow to Doctor Leveridge; his only son, Robert 
Mackenzie Leveridge, was killed in France while serving with the 105th Machine 
Gun Company. 27th Division, A. E. F.

HARRY MITCHELL SHERMAN 

House Surgeon on the Third Surgical Division from April till October, 1881, 
A.B., Trinity College. 1877, A.M., 1880, M.D., Coumbia, 1880. 

Doctor Sherman was one of the most prominent of the medical men on the 
Pacific coast and had practiced in San Francisco since about 1885. His special 
interest was orthopaedic surgery. He was made Emeritus Orthopaedic Surgeon to 
the Children's Hospital in San Francisco after thirty-five years of service and 
Emeritus Surgeon to St. Luke's Hospital in that city after twenty years at that 
institution. He was a fellow of the American Medical Association and the American 
College of Surgeons, a member of the American Orthopaedic and the American 
Surgical Associations and of the California Academy of Medicine. 

His war service at first was on Medical Advisory Board 5 in San Francisco, and 
afterwards, although sixty- three years of age, he was called to the active list in 
the rank of Major and sent to Fort Rosecrans, San Diego, as chief of the surgical 
service in the post hospital, serving about five thousand men in training and the 
aviators at Rockwell Field. 

The problem of the control of cancer deeply interested Doctor Sherman; he 
was a very active member of the American Society for the Control of Cancer and 
Director of that society since its organization. At the time of his death he was 
one of the vice-presidents and Regional Director for California and Nevada, organ- 
izing the work and addressing public audiences in principal cities of these two 
states. 

Doctor Sherman was born in Providence, Rhode Island on November 23, 1854. 
Before he settled in San Francisco he resided for a short while, first in Providence 
and then in Cold Spring, New York. He died in San Francisco of broncho-pneu- 
monia on May 15, 1921, aged sixty-six years. A loyal member of this Society 
for more than thirty years he attended several reunions and kept in touch with 
what was going on at Bellevue. 

RICHARD KALISH 

M.D., Bellevue Hospital Medical College, 1875, House Surgeon on the Fourth 
Surgical Division from April till October, 1877. 

The year after his leaving the hospital. Doctor Kalish was appointed Visiting 
Surgeon to the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary where he served twelve years. 
In 1880 he joined the Visiting Staff of Charity (now City) Hospital and after 
serving thirty-two years he was advanced in 1912 to be Consulting Ophthalmologist ; 
he was very active, always, on the Medical Board of this hospital. He was Con- 
sulting Ophthalomologist to St. John's Hospital, Long Island City from 1892, the 
Knickerbocker (J. Hood Wright) Hospital from 1900 and Sea View from 1911. 

Doctor Kalish joined the Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital in 1887 and 
there was no more loyal, not to say enthusiastic member, than he — always ready 
and always a very diligent worker on committees. He was elected President of 
the Society in 1889 and presided at the first Reunion and Banquet in 1890. 

He was a fellow of the American Medical Association, the American College 
of Surgeons and the New York Academy of Medicine; he served as Assistant Secre- 
tary to the Academy from 1886 till 1892, and for the next three years he was 
Recording Secretary. He was a member also of the Northwestern Medical and 
Surgical, the New York Medico-Surgical societies and the Society of Alumni of 
City Hospital; of the New York Yacht Club, the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club and 
the Manhattan Club. 

In 1890 Doctor Kalish created a stir in medical and ophthalmological circles 
by several papers advocating a method of checking the progress and causing the 
absorption of immature cataract, a method in which he firmly believed. 

Doctor Kalish was a son of Joseph and Johanna Benas Kalish; he was born 
in New York City on June 20, 185*, and he died in this city of myocardial disease 
on his brithday, June 20, 1921, aged sixty-seven years. He never married, and 
he is survived by a sister, Miss Anna Kalish, who lived with him.

HENRY HERMAN 

House Physician on the Third Medical Division from October, 1884, till April. 
1885. A.B., of the College of the City of New York, 1879, and M.D., of the 
Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1883. 

The Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital was organized with two purposes 
in view — one scientific, the other social; the spirit of good-fellowship and con- 
fraternity was to be as prominent in its make-up as scientific dissertation. Doctor 
Herman was one of the moving spirits in its inception somewhat over a year after 
he left the hospital. He had not been long on the house staff before he was nick- 
named "The Judge," presumably because of an air of authority he quizzically 
assumed and. perhaps, the swarthy zygomaxillary whiskers which, for a short while 
he cultivated, deepened the illusion. Herman was always within reach whether the 
discussion was convivial or controversial — he could make a digest of anything. He 
well knew the Junior's place in the hospital economy and he made it easy for 
the Junior to keep it for he, himself, had been one. He was open-handed, a 
shrewd observer and good in diagnosis. So it followed that Doctor Herman was 
elected the first president of the young organization. He contributed frequently 
to the scientific programme for a number of years and he always attended the 
reunions. 

Doctor Herman made no hospital connections and he joined few societies. He 
was a member of the American Medical Association. He devoted himself to his 
family practice which was large and very loyal to him, and notwithstanding the fact 
that for several years he was a sufferer from pulmonary emphysema, he was a busy 
doctor. 

In July, 1921. shortly after he had gone to his summer home at Long Branch, 
New Jersey, he developed pneumonia and in three days, on July 12th, he unex- 
pectedly died. He was sixty-one years old and was born in New York, November 
15, 1860. He married Miss Elinore Wise who, with his son, Mr. Henry Herman, 
survives him. 

CHARLES ELIHU QUIMBY 

Doctor Quimby was House Surgeon on the Second (now the First) Surgical 
Division from April till October, 1879; his Senior Assistant was William C. Gorgas 
and his Junior, Silas P. Leveridge. He seems to have had no further chirurgical 
aspirations. When he left the hospital he betook himself to a place called 
Great Falls, near Somersworth, New Hampshire, and practiced there for two years 
returning to New York in 1882. Here he remained. In 1884 he became associated 
with Doctor Alfred L. Loomis, who was then professor of medicine in the New 
York University, and he served as quizmaster, lecturer, assistant and then adjunct 
professor, successively, under Professor Loomis until the latter's death in 1895, 
when Doctor Quimby was made clinical professor of medicine, a position held at 
his death. He was Attending Physician in Diseases of the Heart and Lungs in 
the University Dispensary and the Bellevue Out-Patient Department for ten or 
more years, Assistant Visiting Physician, Second Division, from 1888 till 1895 and 
Visiting Physician, Second Division, from 1888 till 1895 and Visiting Physician to 
Charity (City) Hospital since 1895. 

Born in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, on June 21, 1853, Charles E. Quimby 
was the elder son of Elihu Thayer Quimby and Nancy A. (Cutler) Quimby. His 
father was principal of the Appleton Academy in that town and young Quimby was 
prepared for college there and, his father having been appointed professor of 
mathematics at Dartmouth College, in private schools in Hanover, and at the Norwich 
Academy. 

Doctor Quimby graduated in arts in 1874 at Dartmouth, and went to Gardner. 
Massachusetts, as principal of the high school. He began the study of medicine 
in Hanover, N. H., under Doctor A. B. Crosby, took his A.M. in 1877 and in 1878 
came to New York to complete his medical course at New York University receiving 
his diploma the same year. 

He married in 1881 Mi99 Julia M. Cobb of Hanover. They had two children, 
Miss Aldana Ripley Quimby and Miss Dorothy Marian Quimby, who with their 

82 



Obituary 



mother survive him. He died in New York of cerebral hemorrhage on November 6, 
1921, aged sixty-eight years. 

Doctor Quimby joined this Society in 1895 and was elected president in 1899. 
His precise, positive manner of speaking and his respect for the rules of logic, 
his appeals for the application of pure science were entertaining features of his 
papers. An example of his style is the following from a thesis he presented to 
the Society in 1899 on "Logical Analysis in Therapeutics" — "My plea, then, is not 
for more knowledge, but simply for a more scientific and exhaustive analysis of 
the facts in hand, to the end that our clinical therapeutics may keep pace, non 
de nomine, sed de facto, with abstract scientific investigation, and thereby un- 
qualifiedly merit that laurel crown which should be reserved for and bestowed 
only upon manifest power to control disease and relieve suffering." His liking 
for physics was perhaps a reason why he was attracted so much by the pneumatic 
cabinet; he was an ardent advocate of the cabinet in the "treatment of thoracic 
diseases" and the arrest of pulmonary haemorrhage. 

He was a member of the American Medical and the American Climatological 
Associations and president of the latter in 1909; he was also a member of the New 
York Academy of Medicine, the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and club and the 
New York University Club and a trustee of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital 
of Hanover, New Hampshire.

THOSE WHO DIED WHILE ON 
DUTY IN THE HOSPITAL 



Of all infectious diseases it is typhus fever that has 
caused the most havoc among the house staff in Bellevue 
and at a time when the nature of the causes of these in- 
fections was unknown or how the infection spread it de- 
manded heroism of the highest order to live there with it. 

The first epidemic appeared in the hospital in 1818 
but no officer succumbed to it. Early in 1825 typhus 
fever appeared again and in the month of April a com- 
mittee was sent by the Common Council to report on the 
conditions prevailing in the hospital. The young house 
physician, then ill with the disease, left his bed to receive 
the committee at the door — the next day but one he died 
of typhus. This young man was Doctor Belden, the first 
to give up his life. 

"Not once or twice in our (old Bellevue) story 
The path of duty was the way to glory."

The Year 1915 

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS 

By James Sears Waterman 

Memrers of the Bellevue Alumni and Guests: 

The honor of being the President of such a society as that of the 
Bellevue Alumni is one which I deeply appreciate; the responsibility 
which it involves I keenly feel, but when that responsibility is 
coupled with succession to a position so splendidly filled by our 
much loved Stewart, it becomes not only a responsibility but an 
embarrassment. 

Gentlemen, twenty-five years ago I entered Bellevue Hospital as 
an interne, and this is my jubilee. 

In passing, I may say that we internes thought we were splendid 
fellows, no matter what may have been the opinion of the Visiting 
Staff; at any rate, we were a happy, care-free lot in those days, 
"When time was yet our vassal, and life's jest was still unstale, 
and no man knew what dreams were ours, as we tramped the road 
to anywhere, the magic road to anywhere, such dear dim, years ago." 

Some of the old crowd are in New York, and we are able to see 
one another here if no where else; some have found their fields 
of activity in nearby states; some have turned to other callings, 
and some have passed to the great beyond. 

The past twenty-five years are said to have been the most extra- 
ordinary in the history of our race, and have brought wonderful 
changes to us in medicine, as in other things, and have stirred the 
deep currents of life for all of us. 

In the last analysis, all life that is significant, that is pregnant 
with meaning, is inspired by that great love of mankind which 
finds its outlet in service to others. 

When Croesus, after exhibiting his treasure to Solon, asked him 
if he had ever known a happier man than he, Solon replied, in 
substance, that he had known several men that he thought had 
greater cause for happiness, because they had spent or given their 
lives in the service of others. 

It is just those words "service to others," that have come ringing 
down the ages, and which have found such wonderful expression 
in medicine today, and in the succor, without a parallel in history, 

110 



<W&t $ear 1915 

given by America to those so sorely stricken by the Great War. 

Two thousand years ago, Christ by His divine touch, sanctified 
and gave rare dignity to the healing art. 

The practice of medicine should be a vocation, not an avocation, 
and such we find it among the majority of our profession. A high 
ideal, an unselfish interest in the welfare of man, a scientific interest 
in unsolved problems, a willingness to work hard with no reward 
in sight save an increase in knowledge and ability to help those 
needing help, an earnest desire to better general health condtiions, 
a broad humanity, mark the physician of today and gives to the 
practice of medicine a character of which we may well be proud. 

With such a working capital, is it a matter of wonder that in the 
passage of the years we have achieved such results as we are see- 
ing now in this twentieth century, in the scientific and humanitarian 
development of our work? 

Not only is every large city rich in its well-equipped hospitals 
and splendid laboratories, but almost every town of moderate size 
can boast of its own hospital and laboratory where up-to-date 
methods of diagnosis and treatment can be carried out. 

Medical education has been placed upon a far higher plane than 
formerly. Post-graduate schools have been founded where any 
branch of special work may be followed as well as in the clinics 
of Europe. 

Great foundations with unlimited means have been established 
where advanced study of disease, its cause and its cure is carried 
on with unsurpassed laboratory facilities, aiming at results unattain- 
able except by the expenditure of large sums of money and the 
entire time of a corps of scientific workers rendered independent 
of monetary cares by sufficient salaries- 

Our water supplies are protected from contamination, epidemics 
are controlled, transmissible diseases are met at quarantine and 
denied admission and preventive medicine has developed into a 
great department of its own. Our Department of Health furnishes 
to all who ask, supplies of vaccine antitoxins and serums without 
charge, or at a minimum price, making it possible for the poorest 
patient to obtain all necessary care. 

The great field of vaccines, antitoxins and serums is being culti- 
vated until it looks as though all the micro-organisms would be 
chained to our chariot wheels, or better, pressed into service and 
compelled even in death to war against their fellows. Immunization 
is successfully practised against smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus, cholera 
and typhoid fever. To such an extent has this been introduced, 
that from Osier in England and from German sources, we learn 
that the latter diseases have been but little in evidence among the 
soldiers in the armies now at war. 

May we not also expect similar methods for the immunization 
of our young people against those scourges of childhood, measles, 
scarlet fever and whooping cough? When one realizes that before 

111 



W&z gear 1915 

Jenner's day the adult population of London consisted of those 
who had survived an attack of smallpox in their childhood, it seems 
easily possible. 

The sources and carriers of yellow fever, malaria, typhoid fever, 
typhus, dysentery, sleeping-sickness and bubonic plague have been 
discovered and epidemics of those diseases controlled. Plague spots, 
like the Isthmus of Panama, have been transformed into something 
resembling health resorts where the death rate is unbelievably low. 

The hook-worm has been followed to its lair and the zone of 
its habitat, reaching around the world, has been attacked with such 
success that whole districts have been converted from a condition 
of indolent shiftlessness into communities of energetic men and 
women able and anxious to do their part in the world's work. In- 
cessant warfare is being waged against the Great White Plague 
with encouraging results. 

Examinations of the blood, twenty-five years ago, were limited 
ordinarily to a study of the anaemias, malarias and filarias, while 
today the surgeon operates from the blood count, the internist 
makes an early diagnosis of a pneumonia in the same way. Typhoid 
fever has its Widal test, the Wasserman reaction clears up an other- 
wise obscure case, the diagnosis of early tuberculosis is coming into 
line from the same study, and so the list rolls up from a field 
before so limited. Empiricism, that reproach of medical practice, 
is fast giving place to methods of treatment based on accurate 
knowledge, and the old order gives way to the new. 

Diagnostic metheds undreamed of in our wildest nights of the 
imagination have become a common place and the roentgen rays 
search everything but the soul, revealing infected accessory sinuses, 
diseases of the chest, abdominal abnormalities, stones in the bladder, 
kidney and ureter, and now even in the gall-bladder. The osseous 
system can be read like a book and all may study their joint and 
fracture cases. 

Many so-called rheumatic conditions are recognized as due to 
infections, and foci are sought in mouth, nose, throat, ear or intestine. 

New diseases and the significance of certain conditions are being 
recognized and arterio-sclerosis and hypertension are having their 
day. Incidentally with a new understanding of food values, every- 
body is being placed on a diet- 

The functions of the ductless glands are becoming known and 
we are having our experiences with the extracts of the pituitary, the 
thyroid, the adrenals and other glands- 
New remedies are being produced almost daily; "606" is having 
its innings, and now we have "twilight sleep." Specifics are being 
developed and diphtheia goes down before its antitoxin; the gonor- 
rheal joint is no longer treated as a rheumatic affair but with its 
specific vaccine, while cerebro-spinal meningitis, tetanus and rabies 
have shown their own large percentage of cures. The bronchoscope, 
oesophagoscope, gastroscope and cystoscope have made possible direct 

112 



7Z%t $tat 1915 

examination and treatment of internal organs hitherto inaccessible. 

The administration of general anaesthesia has become such an im- 
potent department that nearly all hospitals have their corps of 
specialists in the administration of anaesthetics. The many local 
anaesthetics have rendered the sufferings, horrors and dangers of so- 
called minor surgical operations things of the past, while their 
field has been extended to include the spinal anaesthesia and its 
resultant blessings to those for whom a general anaesthetic is con- 
traindicated. 

Anoci-association, one of the great recent important contributions 
to surgery, blocking the nerve impulses and so preventing post- 
operative shock, has been received with enthusiasm by an appre- 
ciative profession. Of its distinguished author who has recently 
sailed for Europe and the seat of war, an editorial in a leading 
daily paper says: "Among the losses which the European war is 
imposing upon the United States must be counted, and not as a 
small one, the deprivation which the country suffers by the absence 
from it, for a considerable period of a man like Dr. George W. 
Crile of Cleveland." 

Team work has been developed, and we see the specialist working 
with the surgeon, the internist and general practitioner working 
toward the common goal of accurate diagnosis and correct treatment. 
The practice of medicine ceasing to be a one-man job, a sort of 
jack-of-all-trades proposition, but each man offering of his best, 
helping to arrive at a result otherwise unattainable. 

In the realm of surgery such rapid strides have been made, such 
a keen interest has been created, that this may well be called the 
"age of surgery." With a scalpel in one hand and a hypodermic 
needle in the other, it has been said that the surgeon is driving his 
brother, the general practitioner, who claims that he is bearing the 
burden and heat of the day, to the wall. 

And so we find a pronounced tendency among many of the young 
men, to yield to the more dramatic and remunerative attractions of 
the operating room, forgetting or ignoring the fact that the best 
foundation for the specialist is laid in acquiring an intimate knowl- 
edge of diseases, only to be gained by a wide experience in general 
practice. 

As to our future, who shall prophesy? Our young men have 
heard the cry of the "Red Gods" calling them, and know 
"there is something lost behind the ranges," and they are seeking 
it over there in the laboratory, hospital and clinic. 

About their findings they will tell us in the coming year, and we 
shall hope for large dividends from the accumulated stores of wis- 
dom gathered by the older men, for we expect to fill our programs 
full to overflowing with the rich results of all this work and study. 

From the discovery of vaccination against smallpox by Jenner, it 
is a far cry to a Pasteur, a Lister and the commencement of the 
present development of our knowledge of the causes of disease 

113 



<&t)t grat 1915 

So recently have these live factors of many diseases been ascertained 
that it is amazing that already, vaccines, serums and specifics have 
been developed to control them- 

The conviction is forced upon us that the inspiration is superhuman 
which has produced results so beneficent. 

In all humanity we may say that we are walking with "the gods," 
and cry with Kipling, 

God of our fathers, be with us yet 
Lest we forget . . .

The Year 1916 
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS 
By Robert Justice Wilson 

(Owing to an accident Dr. Wilson was unable to deliver his address at the January 

meeting.) 

Tothe Members of the Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital: 

The By-Laws of this society provide that the President shall 
deliver an address at the time of his inauguration, and custom has 
made it almost obligatory to commence the address with an ex- 
pression of thanks for the high honor that has been conferred 
upon him in his election. I knew that this was a great honor and 
that a great responsibility accompanied it when you elected me, 
but the greatness of the honor conferred and the magnitude of 
the responsibility incurred was not appreciated until I began an 
analysis of the membership of this society and then I knew for 
the first time, although I have been a member for twenty-three 
years, what a wonderful influence it can and does exert in the 
advancement of scientific medicine. 

I assume that most of us when we first entered college made up 
our minds to try to get on the house staff of Bellevue Hospital. 
This was a goal worthy of our best endeavor. Besides being the 
largest hospital in New York city, with the greatest diversity of 
medical and surgical cases, it was also the seat of the greatest 
number of clinics and its visiting staff represented teachers from 
all the medical colleges in the city. To gain a place in this hospital 
then, meant that opportunity would be offered to the continued 
study of our chosen profession, under the stimulus of a friendly 
rivalry of division against division, for good results and an attempt 
to make the best showing possible. Our point of view widened. 
We no longer took as gospel the teachings of our own school. We 
sat at the feet of many teachers of many schools and marveled that 
we once had believed that the teachings and teachers in ours were 
infallible. 

We soon found that this old Hospital was surrounded with tra- 
ditions, some good, the most good, some bad, and to down the bad 
ones was more difficult than the competitive examinations that had 
gained us our places. As Juniors and Seniors we had many humili- 

119 



<®bc $tai 1916 

ating trials, our work was hard, our hours long, our encouragement 
little, except for the opportunity of learning, and this was limitless- 
And we did learn. We had to. Failure in this respect would have 
meant, not dismissal but something infinitely worse, the loss of 
respect of our colleagues and teachers, worse still our own self 
respect. 

Our self-esteem blossomed when we became House and accord- 
ing to tradition and teaching we became self-confident and fearless, 
and that is why we are what we are. Bellevue Confidence backed 
by Bellevue Knowledge has never had to fear the final outcome 
in the fight of life. Self-esteem so evident in a House was soon 
rubbed down to personal responsibility, when it came in contact 
with the rough edges of the work of acquiring a practice. 

Perhaps the greatest thing we learned in Bellevue was to love it. 
To love every stick and stone in the old building, to love its tradition, 
its opportunities, its staff of teachers unequaled in erudition in the 
medical profession in America. And out of this love sprang this 
society, started by young men, recent graduates, but soon its swell- 
ing membership took in for the same love those very teachers and 
preceptors upon whom we used to look with such awe. 

What is this society and why does it exist? 

The constitution says: First, "The cultivation and advancement 
of medicine and surgery." 

Second, "The promotion of social intercourse among its members." 

Let us consider the second object first. Once a month we meet 
together. Old staffs renew pledges of friendship, live over old 
traditions, welcome new staffs and keep alive loyalty and love for 
our alma mater that I have never seen equaled in any society 
of any kind. May the good old traditions live for ever and may 
the New Bellevue accept them as a precious legacy to be jealously 
treasured as the greatest inheritance it can hand down to the future 
generations of staffs that will graduate from its halls and wards. 

How has this society complied with its first object? A long list 
of valuable contributions to medical literature is its written evidence 
of promise fulfilled. As long a list of illustrious men in modern 
medicine is its personal contribution to medical science. 

Who made the Panama Canal possible after the failure of the 
renowned de Lesseps? Our Congress? No! Our Engineers? No! 
Our Workmen? No! Our Money? No! The earnest, faithful, 
conscientious, efficient work of a member of this society overcame 
insanitary conditions that made de Lesseps fail and made it possible 
that the acts of Congress could be carried out and the engineers 
prosecute the greatest work of its kind that the world has ever 
known. 

Have its members made any impress on medical education? 

The names of the deans of the Medical Departments of Columbia 
and Cornell universities and the acting dean of the New York 
University are on its roster. The teaching staffs of the universities 

120 



W$t Wtat 1916 

and hospitals of this and other cities number many of our members 
among them- 

Have we contributed our share to the care of public health? 

The State Commissioner of Health of New York and the Com- 
missioner and President of the Board of Health of New York City 
are our members. Very many of our members hold important 
positions in state and municipal health departments. 

Do we assume the burdens of hospital work that our training 
demands we should? 

The consulting physicians of forty-seven hospitals are members 
of this society. To enumerate them would sound like reading a 
list of the hospitals in New York. Seventy hospitals have as at- 
tending physicians active members of the society and our non- 
resident members are visiting physicians to twenty-seven more. 

Do we endorse scientific medicine by aligning ourselves with the 
progressive societies that tend to shape medical laws and rules of 
conduct? 

Most of our members are members of the county and slate medical 
societies in the commonwealths in which they live. One hundred 
and fifty are members of the American Medical Association. Ninety- 
eight are members of the New York Academy of Medicine. Twenty- 
nine are Fellows of the Association of Clinical Surgeons. Our 
membership in these societies that so greatly influence the trend 
of modern medicine in America is proof posititve of our position 
in the advancement of medical science. 

In addition to the above mentioned medical organizations our 
members are affiliated with societies that represent, just as our 
membership does, almost every phase of medical work. 

What a powerful organization! 

And what a power for good such an organization can exert in 
the medical world. 

Fortunately perhaps for us, our constitution limits our activities 
to the advancement of medicine and surgery and the promotion of 
social intercourse among our members. We are not a political or- 
ganization, we are not a business organization, and neither the 
intrigues of the first nor the worries of the latter ever enter into 
our considerations. 

We are essentially a social organization, a sort of a brotherhood, 
and here lies our greatest obligation and our greatest opportunity 
to fulfill the provisions of our constitution. 

We are, or should be, a help-one-another society, not by organized 
labor methods, but more after the style of let not your right hand 
know what your left hand doeth. And those to be helped are our 
young members. Their advancement means that the first object 
of our existence will be automatically assured, and the means of 
its accomplishment is through our observation of the second.

The Year 1917 

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS 

January 3, 1917 

By Samuel Albertus Brown 

Gentlemen: 

I wish to express my appreciation of the honor which has been 
conferred upon me in electing me as your President for the ensuing 
year, and I can assure you that every effort will be exerted to con- 
tinue the success and development of the society and to provide 
for the members papers which will be both entertaining, stimulating 
and instructive, and if I am half as successful as my predecessor, 
Dr. Wilson, I shall be delighted. 

This success cannot be obtained without the co-operation of every 
member of the society, as it is impossible otherwise for your presi- 
dent and officers to accomplish the results which the strength and 
power of the society warrant. Individually we are not strong, but 
collectively we are extremely so, and I would therefore ask the 
aid of every member and would appreciate suggestions regarding 
the program and other topics of interest which should be brought 
before you. 

There are many members of the society proficient in research 
work and interesting clinical lines with whom the officers are not 
familiar, and suggestions on the part of any member will be gladly 
received and will immediately result in our getting in touch with 
men who are doing this work. In this way we can obtain the best 
that there is in the city for presentation at our meetings. 

If you will look over the list of members of this society you will 
be struck with the illustrious names. As a matter of fact, it could 
be very creditably incorporated entire in the history of medicine in 
this large city. My only regret is that we have so many members 
who do not take an active interest in the affairs of the society. With 
a membership of 350 it would seem that we should enjoy the pres- 
ence of a large number at the monthly meetings. It is particularly 
noticeable that many of the older members do not attend with any 
regularity, and I am at a loss to account for this condition. In 
recent years we have endeavored to stimulate the writing and 

126 



W&t gear 1917 

presentation of papers among the younger members of the society, 
and this has been done by limiting, to a great extent, the papers 
to our own membership. If it is for this reason that many members 
do not attend, then it is a serious question whether the principle 
is a good one. In other words, if the members of the society desire 
a more active interest from outsiders, or if the papers presented 
from outsiders would be of greater interest, then, of course, it would 
be advisable to make this change, or at least, to take under serious 
consideration the advisability of so doing. But it is my belief that 
the principle now in force is the proper one, as we have in our 
membership a formidable number of members who are in a position 
to supply us with much stimulating scientific data, and although 
I shall not feel restricted in this matter, and shall probably ask 
for certain papers outside the society, I shall continue to endeavor 
to encourage papers from within, and in this must ask for the 
earnest support of the members. 

It is to be hoped that within the coming year more of the internes 
in the hospital will compete for the prizes offered by this society, 
and it would probably be advisable to call the attention of the 
internes to the conditions under which the prizes are awarded 

The changes in the hospital present a matter which is of great 
concern to us, as it will probably be necessary to modify that part 
of the constitution and by-laws regarding eligibility to membership. 

At the present time we provide for five classes of membership: 
(1) active members; (2) associate members; (3) emeritus mem- 
bers; (4) permanent associate members; (5) honorary members. 
In addition to this, special provision has been made for the ex- 
terne. Section II provides that the active members shall be selected 
from the ex-house physicians, surgeons and gynecologists in Belle- 
vue Hospital. 

Under the new plan several classes of internes will be provided: 
first, the resident. The resident will be selected from men who 
have previously completed at least two years of hospital work, not 
necessarily in Bellevue Hospital. Second, another group will be 
appointed as internes for a period of one year, who may never 
become house physician, surgeon or gynaecologist. Third, in addi- 
tion to these, the special services, such as gynaecology, genito-urinary, 
surgery, ear, nose and throat, obstetrics, neurology, etc., will be 
provided with special staffs, and these appointees will be required 
to have had previous experience in hospitals. It is probable that 
most of these men will be selected from the internes in Bellevue 
Hospital, especially the one year men, but a certain proportion may 
come from hospitals other than Bellevue. 

All of the above classes would necessarily require special pro- 
vision if it was deemed desirable to admit them to membership in 
this society, but no recommendation can be made in this matter at 
the present time owing to the fact that the plans are still somewhat 
uncertain, and even if adopted it would probably be advisable to 

127 



t£J)e $ear 1917 

wait until they had been thoroughly tried out before deciding upon 
the changes necessary to cover the new conditions. 

I am presenting this matter to you so that you may give it your 
careful consideration and be in a position to advise us later as to 
your wsihes in this matter. 

Of late you have probably noticed that we have been starting 
our meetings at a later period in the evening; that while the notice 
called for the meeting to begin at 8.30 p.m., it is frequently 9 o'clock 
before the papers are presented- This is due to the lateness of 
attendance, and I am going to ask you to help me in this matter 
by being present promptly at 8.30 so that the meeting can be 
called to order- In this way it will be possible for us all to return 
to our homes at a much more seemly hour than in the past. 

You will probably recall that in the county medical society meet- 
ings, the executive session is held before the scientific, and this 
is one possibility to be considered in this connection, but I do 
not think that this is sufficiently advantageous to modify our pro- 
cedure, as it will simply require that the members be present ten 
or fifteen minutes earlier than has been customary recently. 

At the beginning of the new year it will be appropriate for us 
to consider for a moment those things for which we should be grate- 
ful, and possibly the first among them is the fact that we have 
been privileged to enjoy and develop our lives both socially and 
scientifically without the terrible penalty exacted from our neighbors 
in Europe. 

We should also be thankful that there has been at least one haven 
for these poor, desolate people. 

And of special interest to us, we should be delighted with the 
progress in the development of Bellevue Hospital; the increasing 
usefulness as evidenced by the opening of the surgical pavilions 
and the re-arrangements of the services. We are greatly indebted 
to the city administration and to the Board of Trustees for their 
encouragement and aid in this matter. I am sure that we are all 
looking forward to the time when Bellevue Hospital will represent 
the most advanced point of scientific instruction and occupy the 
most useful position in the teaching of medicine of any institution 
in the country. 

There is no reason why this should not be attained, with its 
prestige, the physical development, the liberal support of the city, 
the number of patients and a hospital staff such as we now have, 
rendering it not only a possibility but an absolute certainty that 
in the future, as in the past, Bellevue Hospital will be pre-eminently 
a teaching institution as well as a hospital in which the citizens of 
New York will find relief and care in their times of medical and 
surgical need. 

In the discussion of public affairs recently we frequently hear 
suggestions presented that as a race the men are becoming more 
effeminate and that with the accumulation of wealth our people 

128 



'fttje m*t 1917 

are becoming more self-indulgent. This is a disturbing thought, 
and I am sure one that has occurred to most of us. Whether this 
is relatively evidenced because women are more assertive, it is not 
within my province to say. If this is the tendency of the times, 
are we in any way responsible for its accentuation? It has some- 
times occurred to me that in our anxiety and protective interest in 
our patients that we may be encouraging people to expect un- 
reasonable relief and freedom from pain. This may be the result 
of the development of narcotics, and sedatives and the knowledge 
which the laity has acquired on this subject. It is positive that as 
a race we are not nearly as willing to face pain with composure 
as were our forefathers in the early days of this country. If we. 
as a profession, are encouraging this attitude, we should carefully 
consider its consequences, as we are drifting and slumbering in a 
security which many well-posted men believe to be insecure, and 
it may be necessary for us to receive a sudden shock before our 
vitality can be determined. 

One of the evidences that some of our public men are not entirely 
satisfied with the situation is the fact that the deans of the medical 
schools have been asked to meet the Secretary of War in con- 
ference, to determine whether some instruction in Military Surgery 
and Hygiene could be introduced into the curriculum of the colleges 
with benefit to the students, so that in time of war or threatened 
war we would have a group of medical men who would at least 
understand the elements of military requirements and could be 
mobilized rapidly- With this knowledge it would be possible for 
them to take up their work in the field much more intelligently. 
This is one of the educational matters to be determined after more 
careful consideration-

The Year 1920 
PRESIDENTS ADDRESS 

January 7, 1920 
By Charles Blount Slade 

Fellow Alumni and Guests: 

On many occasions in the past twenty years, my thoughts have 
pictured in a quite impersonal way, the qualities one should bring 
to this office. Now, I am receiving this honor and accepting this 
responsibility with honest doubt as to whether I possess any of 
those qualities which my predecessors had in such full measure. 

In reality I know that this society, with its composite of knowl- 
edge, and fraternal co-operation in a determination to advance 
renders the temporary occupant of this chair relatively unimportant. 
This gives me courage. And whatever capacity I have, I humbly 
bind myself to render it in an effort to make our 1920 meetings 
mutually beneficial and pleasant. 

Let us all keep in mind the ideals and traditions of Bellevue's 
alumni, which have brought us to a high postion of respect and 
dignity. If I can but help to maintain this, I will be fully satisfied. 

We have heard a great deal of "team work" in the last five years. 
I am going to ask each and every one of you to do your share 
along this line. Please remember that every sincere idea that any 
one of you may have is wanted. I appeal particularly to those of 
you who are called the younger members. I do not refer to, nor 
am I to be lead into a discussion of our relative ages. That would 
not be fair or relevant. Neither can a man's age be guessed by 
appearances — certainly not by the color of his hair. 

To our more recent graduates and members, I wish to say that 
here it is of no consequence whether a man has been out of the 
hospital one, twenty, or forty years. It is of a great deal of con- 
sequence to all of us, what any member may think or know concern- 
ing medicine and surgery and other matters affecting this society. 
We want all of your honest opinions, whether constructive or de- 
structive, on every topic discussed. Some of the best ideas and 

143 



TO* gear 1920 

observations come to us in our early years of practice. So, I beg 
of you to lay aside the natural reticence of youth, and let us all 
have the benefit of your opinions. 

Fortunately most of our papers are interesting and invite discus- 
sion. They are usually good and justify compliment. But of all 
of you, I wish to ask that you do not confine your remarks in dis- 
cussions to compliments. Remember, it is criticism — adverse criti- 
cism, and disagreement that make us think and advance our knowl- 
edge. The more we combat each other here, the better fitted we 
will be to combat disease outside. Nothing worth while was ever 
gained without a fight. The more you fight here, within parlia- 
mentary bounds, the better for our patients, and after all, it is 
for them that we are here. 

You have all received a copy of the general scientific program 
for this year. Your Committee on Science has thought it best to 
plan thus in advance, so that every one who reads a paper can 
have ample time in which to prepare it to his entire satisfaction. 
Several papers have already been accepted for most of the year's 
meetings, but as no paper will consume more than fifteen or twenty 
minutes to read, there is space under each heading for two more. 
Those who have ideas or experiences, which they desire to bring 
before the society, are invited to reserve their time and submit the 
title of their paper to the Committee on Science or the Secretary 
as soon as possible. It is desired that, as soon as a paper is ac- 
cepted, the author invite two or three men to discuss it, and forward 
their names to the Secretary. 

Gentlemen: with these few words I throw myself upon your 
mercy.

The Year 1921 

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS 

January 5, 1921 

By Eben Foskett 

To the Members and Guests of the Society of Alumni of 
Bellevue Hospital: 

I appreciate the honor you have conferred on me in electing me 
President of this society so representative in its membership of 
what Bellevue Hospital has done for its graduates- 

If I can do as well as our retiring president I shall feel that my 
administration has been a success. With the aid of our experienced, 
energetic and very expressive Secretary, possibly I can keep up 
the record. 

But whatever success comes to me as President can only come 
from the support accorded by the members in doing the work of 
the Society- 

This is a social and scientific society. On the scientific side 
I hope to have papers from young members as well as those of 
longer experience. 

I hope that the internes will report some of their original in- 
vestigations on medical subjects as candidates for the two one 
hundred dollar prizes offered each year by this society for original 
work. I hope the various visitings will bring this to the attention 
of the internes. 

As to the social side of the society I feel that it is a privilege 
for us to meet together and dine together. This keeps alive that 
loyalty to Bellevue Hospital that has ever characterized its grad- 
uates. Coming from different colleges, working together in the 
hospital for two years, let us ever stand together as its Alumni 
and work for its up-building. 

History of Bellevue Hospital 

I wish to speak to-night of Bellevue Hospital itself. It seems 
to me the younger members are not familiar with its history and 
older members are not all posted on the great physical changes 
in methods of administration and of teaching. 

149 



<H§t geac 1921 

The history of Bellevue is replete with interest and we are all 
indebted to Dr. Robert J. Carlisle, who put this in book form in 
1892 and who has served as our Historian ever since. 

Is it known to the younger men that Bellevue Hospital is the 
oldest hospital in the city? It was first opened in 1736 as an 
Alms House, Workhouse and Hospital, the site at that time being 
that of the present New York City Hall- The contract price of 
this building was eighty pounds in money and fifty gallons of rum. 
Dr. John Van Beuren was the first physician in charge and since 
that time the Van Beuren family has furnished many surgeons to 
the profession of the city- 
Do they know that at Bellevue Hospital the first Nurses' Training 
School in this country was established in 1873? 

Do they know that the first hospital ambulance system in the 

world was established in 1869 at Bellevue Hospital by Col. Edward 

B. Dalton, a former interne and an army officer of the Civil War? 

The Workhouse and Hospital was removed to the north side of 

Chambers Street in 1796. 

The first ground at the present site was purchased in 1794. Belle 
View Place was purchased and consisted of the property from the 
River to First Avenue from 23rd to 26th Street. This was later 
occupied as a yellow fever hospital. Belle View was two words 
then and the lawyer in drawing the deed gave it as one, and spelled 
it as used at present, hence the name. 

From 1811 to 1819 the site from the River to Second Avenue and 
from 26th to 28th Streets was purchased in three different lots 
for about $30,000. 

The Workhouse, Almshouse and Hospital were removed here 
to new buildings in 1816. Two hundred patients were in the 
Hospital the next year and the staff was reorganized with two 
visiting surgeons, two visiting physicians and two internes. 

In 1836 the prisoners were removed to another location; in 1839 
the insane were removed to BlackwelFs Island; in 1847 the alms- 
house was removed to Blackwell's Island, and from this time on 
Bellevue has been purely a hospital for the sick. 

From 1836 to 1848 the Hospital was the prey of the city politicians 
and the standard of the Hospital was at a low ebb. But little care 
was given the patients and all supplies were lacking. These poli- 
ticians caused the sale at auction of all the Hospital grounds except 
that from 26th to 28th Street and First Avenue to the river. The 
papers of the city dubbed these politicians "The Forty Thieves", 
because of this act- 
In 1847 Dr. James R. Wood came upon the scene- He was thirty- 
five years old, a great medical man and a finished politician. His 
influence with the city officials caused a great improvement in the 
care of the patients and the furnishing of supplies. "Jimmy Wood," 
as he was called affectionately by his students, became an eminent 
and beloved surgeon, remembered by some of my hearers to-night. 

150 



^e gear 1921 

He is the only medical politician in Bellevue's history of whom it 
has ever been said "he was a great surgeon." 

The New Bellevue 

Eighteen years ago a Board of Trustees was appointed and the 
Charity Department of the city ceased to have control of Bellevue, 
Gouverneur, Fordham and Harlem Hospitals. 

Following this a comprehensive plan was evolved for a new and 
greater Bellevue. 

The block north of 26th Street was purchased, the street closed, 
and a pathological building, power plant and laundry were erected 
on the site. Also on the river front Pavilions A and B were erected, 
and later Pavilions I and K, L and M on the north side. 

The Pathological Building is well equipped. In connection with 
this, a library of medical works and current medical magazines 
was established for the use of the House Staff. Three resident 
pathologists are employed, a physiological chemist and an assistant, 
fourteen pathological internes and twelve technicians. 

At present plans have been completed for Pavilions F and G 
to be placed south of Pavilions I and K. Present conditions in 
the building trade caused a bid of $4,000,000 to be placed on plans 
figured by the architect to cost $1,750,000. The result is the com- 
plete abandonment of building for the present. 

Plans are also being made for a pavilion at 26th Street and First 
Avenue, part of which will be used as on out-patient department, 
but there is no immediate prospect of more building and we will 
have to wait again for that out-patient department that has been 
hoped for so long- 

This is a matter of great regret for the forty thousand neAv cases 
per year treated in the dispensary furnish a wealth of material for 
the instruction of medical students, but the crowded condition in- 
terferes with its utilization except in a slight degree- 

Management of the Hospital 

The Board of Trustees, appointed by the Mayor, does most of 
the actual business management and also passes on the nominations 
from the colleges of the visiting and house staff. 

The Board at present is made up of Dr. John W. Brannan, Chair- 
man, John G. O'Keeffe, James A. Farley, Henry C. Wright, Isidore 
Weinberger, Mrs. Julia Lissberger, Dr. John W. Perilli, Bird S. 
Coler, ex-officio. All serve without pay. 

The Medical Board of other days has ceased to function. 

An Executive Committee of eight members, two from each of 
the four chief divisions of the Hospital, attends to the medical 
questions that arise and confers wth the Trustees on such questions 
as need adjusting. 

151 



'flTDe gear 1921 

The present service may be better understood if I give the fol- 
lowing statistics taken from the last available Report — that of 1918, 
just out. 

Beds, 1691 — only 340 of which are in the old building. 

Admissions (1918) 42,563 

Average census 1,432 

Largest at one time 1,689 

Ambulance calls 15,604 

Officers, nurses and employees 1,200 

Cost per day per patient $2.64 

Total number of operations (1918) 6,057 

Cost of operating hospital $1,415,237 

Visiting Staff of the Hospital 

The visiting staff of the Hospital is made up of a Director of the 
Service on each Division, Visitings, Assistant Visitings and Adjunct 
Assistant Visitings. the latter also having charge of the class in 
the Out Patient Department- 
There are: 44 full Visitings, 55 Assistant Visitings, 63 Adjunct 
Assistant Visitings; a total of 162 men on the Visiting Staff. 

In theory the Adjuncts are promoted as vacancies occur in the 
Assistant Visiting Staff. 

House Staff 

On the House Staff of the Four Medical and Four Surgical 
Services are sixty internes and on the Special Services are sixty- 
five internes, a total of 125 on the House Staff. In addition are 
ten to fifteen substitutes all the time. 

Some of the Divisions have a salaried resident in charge for one 
year, the so-called house being what in our day was called a senior. 
The Resident must have had two years' experience in hospital 
work to be eligible for appointment. 

As all the Services have not availed themselves of the privilege 
of having a Resident there is evidently a division of opinion as to 
the advisability of this plan. The chief question that arises being, 
will the best men take the service when only a few can become the 
responsible head of the service. 

In recent years women have served on the House Staff and ten 
are now on duty. Now that all of the medical colleges have ad- 
mitted women, it is probable this number will be increased. 

During the war Bellevue had the same troubles as other hospitals 
in maintaining the work of the wards, and at one time there were 
on the staff five colored men, one of whom became Resident under 
Dr. Edward L. Keyes; a Chinaman from Harvard Medical, in China, 
who made an excellent record; a Chinese woman doctor and a 
Filipino. 

152 



W$z $eat 1921 

The work of the Staff is now in its usual form. The only colored 
men on it are one in the Tuberculosis Service and one in the X-Ray 
Department. 

Bellevue Hospital as a Teaching Institution 

As a teaching institution Bellevue serves the public in three ways: 
By its clinical work for medical students and post-graduate students. 
By the training of nurses in the Training Schools. 
By its School for Midwives. 

Medical Instruction Bellevue Hospital 

To the writer it seems that the use of the Wards of Bellevue 
Hospital for teaching medical students will best utilize the resources 
of the Hospital for the public good. 

Early in its history as a separate hospital Bellevue was served 
by such men as Valentine Mott. James R. Wood, Willard Parker, 
Gunning S. Bedford and Alonzo Clark. 

The wealth of material and the character of the visiting resulted 
in a desire for regular clinical instruction. This demand was met 
by the Commissioners who built an amphitheatre in 1849, and 
teaching has continued from that date. 

In the years following three medical colleges were located in 
the vicinity and the hospital service was divided among them. 
The Hospital was a teaching center and during the following years 
was attended by thousands of students from the medical colleges. 
This teaching was largely by lectures and clinics and not much 
by ward work. Famous clinicians and surgeons were developed 
and the graduates will remember with pleasure the teaching of 
such men as William H. Van Buren, Fordyce Barker, Austin Flint, 
Lewis A. Sayre, Alfred L. Loomis, William T. Lusk, Edward G. 
Janeway, Lewis A. Stimson. Francis Delafield, and many others- 

In the last twenty years great changes have taken place in the 
method of teaching. 

With greater opportunities come greater responsibilities. 

Bellevue Hospital of to-day is a challenge to the medical college. 

With 1691 beds, with a Department of Pathology and X-Ray 
diagnosis, with ten operating rooms available, with internes who 
have been taught as students to do the routine pathological work, 
with thirteen special departments, with a Board of Trustees willing 
to grant any privileges that will help in utilizing all these oppor- 
tunities; how are colleges meeting this challenge? 

The large clinics of the past days are in the discard. 

Students are met by instructors in the wards on the regular 
services and some of the special services. They are taught in the 
second and third year at the bedside and in the Out-Patient Depart- 
ment. In the fourth year they serve as clinical clerks, taking histories 
and doing routine work, all under the observation of instructors. 

153 



(Wfyt gtar 1921 

Departments of the Hospital 

There are four medical and four surgical divisions as in the past. 

The prohibition against the staff of the Fourth Division being 
connected with the colleges has been rescinded and most of its 
Visitings are teaching in the various medical schools; so really the 
whole service of the Hospital is in the control of the medical 
colleges. 

Special departments are: 

Obstetrics; 2nd and 3rd Divisions, with 1500 deliveries per year. 

Gynaecology; 3rd Division. 

Genito-Urinary Surgery; 2nd Division. 

Children's Surgery; 4th Division.

This summary must convince you that the wards of Bellevue 
Hospital are used to a greater extent than ever before. Its importance 
in medical education has never been greater. The time and effort 
put in by the instructors has never been exceeded. 

The need of more instructors has of late led to frequent ap- 
pointments of new men to the Assistant Visiting and Adjunct As- 
ssistant Visiting Staff. These appointments are for a one year 
period only. 

We know that each college has the supervision and teaching of the 
students and internes through a course in the pre-medical, medical 
and hospital interneship, and in some cases the residents' position 
for one year, all taking from seven to ten years. 

Is it too much to expect that each college should find among 
the graduates from their course in Bellevue Hospital men sufficiently 
prepared to fill all the vacancies occurring in the Assistant Visiting 
Staff of the Hospital? 

When this is done the quality of the instruction given in the 
Hospital will be proven by results, and a better spirit will prevail 
among the Hospital graduates. Loyalty to the Hospital will be 
more readily shown when loyalty of its visiting staff to its graduates 
also prevails. 

Post-Graduate Work 

On special services as Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat the staff men 
are usually men who have had a general hospital experience here 

155 



tEfie grat 1921 

or elsewhere. They take the service to become specialists in their 
particular line, and can thus be regarded as post-graduate students. 
They receive a hospital diploma for one year's service. 

The College of Physicians and Surgeons gives a post-graduate 
course in Pediatrics. 

It is, however, probable that as the hospital is used by 614 
under-graduates each year from three different medical colleges, 
there is not much opportunity for post-graduate work. 

Training of Nurses 

The training of nurses has been a valuable feature of Bellevue 
Hospital. The Training School was not established by the Hospital 
authorities, but by a group of public-spirited women who wished 
to improve conditions. 

They sent abroad a young man who had just finished his hospital 
course. He studied the training schools abroad and consulted with 
Florence Nightingale, who helped to outline a plan for the new 
School. That young man was Dr. W. Gill Wylie. 

Miss Helen Bowden, known as Sister Helen, of University Hos- 
pital, London, was selected for superintendent of the new School 
and served for four years in that capacity, when, because of ill 
health, she returned to England. 

The School began operations in 1873 and gradually took over the 
nursing of the patients. 

Previous to this time the nursing, if such it could be called, was 
done by the prisoners from the Workhouse, and deplorable conditions 
were present. 

This School has graduated about 1400 nurses; they have been 
called to the superintendency of many other training schools in 
this and other countries, and so Bellevue has had an important 
influence in the development of other training schools and of the 
profession of nursing. 

Of late years a post-graduate course in nursing has been estab- 
lished and many graduates of training schools in smaller places come 
for a course of from six months to a year. 

There are also thirty-nine schools affiliated with Bellevue Training 
School who send pupils for courses in such subjects as they cannot 
get at home. 

The Mills Training School for Attendants is now under the super- 
vision of the Women's School. 

The Training School has one hundred and eighty-nine women 
as pupil-nurses; forty men in the Mills School, and graduate head 
nurses for each ward, and as supervisor and instructors, bringing 
the total number of nurses to approximately three hundred; and 
this is a shortage of seventy-five. 

An eight-hour day for nurses is now being brought into force 
gradually.

<H$t gear 1921 

It is interesting to note that there are now in this country 1776 
nurses' training schools, 55251 pupil nurses and 151,466 graduate. 

Frequent changes have taken place in the head of the Training 
School of late years, usually because the superintendent was called 
into government service. 

Whoever was the head of the school Miss Carrie Brink, Assistant 
Superintendent, was always at her side, giving the benefit of her 
intimate knowledge of the problems of the hospital and school. 

With the resignation of Miss Hilliard as Superintendent, Miss 
Brink was made Superintendent of the Training School. 

She was a true educator in the training of pupil-nurses, decisive 
in her judgment and action, vigilant in all things, cheerful in her 
manner, and when she dropped dead at her post December 10, 1920, 
the Hospital and Training School suffered an irreparable loss. 

The School for Midwives 

This was opened in 1911 in the old emergency hospital building. 
An eight-months training course is given. The students give their 
services in return for free instruction. About fifty midwives are 
graduated each year. Most of the patients are attended in their 
homes, but there are eighteen beds in the Emergency Hospital 
Service. 

In this department 850 patients were delivered last year. 

This makes a total of 2350 deliveries in this and the regular 
obstetrical service of Bellevue Hospital. 

Social Service 

Of late years there has been an effort to supplement the Hospital 
work by caring for the convalescent and investigating the needs 
of the families of patients in their homes. 

A Social Service Department was formed years ago under the 
supervision of Miss Mary Wadley. Forty graduate nurses are 
employed; the city pays for fourteen. The money for the others 
is raised by subscriptions and Chrsitmas offerings and in this the 
Board of Managers are active. 

These nurses work in the pre-natal and post-natal clinics, in 
tuberculosis service, in the venereal service of the out-patient de- 
partment. They send patients to convalescent homes, pay car fares, 
secure clothing for the needy, supply food for needy convalescents, 
supply braces, abdominal supporters, elastic stockings, etc. 

Its nurses, working with the various return clinics of the Hospital, 
are very helpful in looking up and finding out the condition of 
those who do not return.

Membership of Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital 

Our Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital now has the follow- 
ing membership: 

Active Resident members 202 

Resident Permanent Associate members 121 

Non-resident Permanent Associate members 2 

Emeritus members 3 

Honorary members 3 

Although the number of internes is greatly increased, a large 
number do not reach the grade of House. Each year twenty-four are 
graduated qualified to join this society. The others get a short 
term certificate for a one year service. 

The present methods of appointing assistants to a director of the 
service instead of full visitings also lessens the number of men 
eligible to permanent associate membership. 

Changes in our constitution and by-laws will be advisable from 
time to time.

THE ANNUAL MEETINGS AND REUNIONS 

The society was in its second year when it inaugurated a series 
of annual meetings- It was ambitious to be considered an active, 
vigorous society and to take a prominent part in the work of the 
medical associations of the city- Another and an important pur- 
pose was to be a rallying point for Bellevue men — to foster the 
spirit of fellowship and good-will that was known to exist among 
those who began their career in Bellevue Hospital.
